List of SEPTA Metro stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SEPTA Metro consists of twelve lines containing thirteen trains; The L and B, both of which were inherited from the former Philadelphia Transportation Company, and originally built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. It also includes the M, an interurban commuter rail line between Norristown, Pennsylvania and Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania, originally owned by the Philadelphia and Western Railroad, then acquired by the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (PSTC).

The system also contains several trolley lines and interurban lines. Five T trains and the G line were inherited from the former Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) and originally built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT). The D lines were built by the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company (P&WCTC) and later inherited by the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (PSTC). Operation of these two lines were taken over by SEPTA in 1970.
