George School (SEPTA station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George School is an abandoned train station located at George School, a Quaker school in Middletown, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Reading Railroad's Newtown Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R8 Newtown Line. The station, and all of those north of Fox Chase, was closed in February 1983, due to SEPTA’s desire for all-electric rail operations (electrification ends at the Fox Chase station). Service in the diesel-only territory north of Fox Chase was "temporarily suspended" at that time, and the George School station still appears in publicly posted tariffs. There is little trace of the station itself today, though the large brick staircase leading to it remains, despite having no current purpose. A picture of the former station, built in 1905, is available here.
