Holland (SEPTA station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holland is an abandoned train station located on Holland Road in Northampton, Pennsylvania, not far from the Churchville Reservoir. 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 Holland station still appears in publicly posted tariffs. The shelter was removed in the late 1990s. There is little trace of the station today.
