MONTGOMERY  COUNTY

Bala (PRR) - This was the Barmouth Station on the Cynwyd Line that branched off from the westbound PRR mainline just west of the Phila Zoo, and ran north through Wynnefield Avenue, Bala, Cynwyd, and then Barmouth Station just north of Belmont Avenue, as it entered West Laurel Hill Cemetery and then ultimately crossed north over abridge that spans the Schuylkill River. Currently, the tracks are used west of Philadelphia on the SEPTA R6 Cynwyd commuter rail line, but the trains go no further than Cynwyd.

Bryn Athyn (RDG) - This is on the Newtown Branch, same line as Churchville and Southampton. This line has been out of service since mid 1980's but SEPTA still plans on reactivating line in the future for commuters. Original Station was enlarged in 1927 to add what is now the post office. Station is located at RR milepost 15.10. SEPTA does not consider tracks as abandoned, only "out-of-service."

Bryn Mawr (PRR) - This station is built in mid-20th century colonial style. About 50 feet east of the eastbound station is a stone freight shed, dating to about 1870; it is now a restaurant. On the westbound side is a splendid yellow brick-and-copper interlocking tower. The station that it replaced was torn down in 1963 when this one was erected.

Jenkintown (RDG) - Designed by Horace Trumbauer.

Melrose Park (RDG) - The inbound (to Philadelphia) ticket office and waiting room burned down in the mid-90's. That is the building on the left in the old Oak Lane photo.  The only piece left of the old inbound station is the southern two sections of the platform shelter. SEPTA has built a new station.

Merion (PRR) - This is truly the best-maintained station on the line. The Merion Civic Association maintains the buildings, and they could easily be placed in Germany. Brick platforms, red brick and yellow stucco walls with green window frames and window boxes full of geraniums, plus a very busy schedule and lots of commuter use make this the ultimate example of a great station.

Miquon (RDG) - This is a 1-story red-brick station with a low hipped roof. There is also an inbound wooden passenger shelter. The name "Miquon" is a Lenape Indian word meaning "feather" and was given to William Penn as a humorous nickname after he tried to explain to the natives what his last name meant (they also gave him the respectful name "Onas" meaning "friend").

North Wales (RDG) - The original station was located about 2500 feet south of the present station. When the new station was built, it had iron supports under the overhanging roof instead of wooden beams. The station also had a cupola located on the roof centered over the ticket agent's office (Similar to Glenside and Doylestown)..

Old York Road Station (RDG) - This station was also known as Ogontz Station and closed to passenger service in 1899 when the Elkins Park station opened just a 1/4 mile or so down the line. The station was still used for freight for some time.

Port Kennedy (RDG) - Passenger service ended 1980. SEPTA renamed this station Valley Forge at some point.

Whitehall (PRR) - Built in 1860 this was the first Bryn Mawr station that served the original PRR route. The PRR straightened the line in 1868 and built a new station. Used as the Bryn Mawr Hospital Thrift Shop. The station was built in 1860 by the PRR so they could have a telegraph office in Whitehall.  The station stopped being used by the railroad in 1868 when the new tracks 1/2 mile north went into operation and passengers began using the Bryn Mawr station.

Wynnewood (PRR) - This stone station is in excellent repair. The stonework is finely-cut gray "rubble" with green stone trim. The platforms are herringbone brick and the platform roofs are "railroad gingerbread."
