Huntingdon Valley (SEPTA station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abandoned tracks and a private residence near the former site of Huntindgon Valley station.

Huntingdon Valley is an abandoned train station located on Terwood Road near Old Welsh Road (PA 63) in Lower Moreland, Pennsylvania, not far from the Pennypack Creek. 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 Huntingdon Valley station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.

Currently, the stone driveway of a car wash infringes upon the right-of-way at the site of the former station.
