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:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
