Olney is a station located along the SEPTA Fox Chase Line, and serves the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia. It is located at Mascher Street and Tabor Road and has a 61-space parking lot.
SEPTA demolished the station building in June 2008. It was originally built in 1906 by the Reading Railroad, and was boarded up for more than 20 years before being demolished. Olney Station is the last stop inbound before Wayne Junction Station, where it merges with the Warminster, West Trenton, Lansdale/Doylestown, and Chestnut Hill East lines.
Famous quotes containing the word rail:
“We rail at trade, but the historian of the world will see that it was the principle of liberty; that it settled America, and destroyed feudalism, and made peace and keeps peace; that it will abolish slavery.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
