Walnut Hill (SEPTA station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walnut Hill is an abandoned train station located on Moredon Road in Abington Township, 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 Walnut Hill station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.
Walnut Hill station was a popular stop for passengers visiting the adjacent Pennypack Park.
