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:
“If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
