Was pleasantly surprised to find that the oldest surviving passenger railroad station in the country is here in Philadelphia county - Shawmont station in Roxborough. Currently undergoing rehab to reopen this summer.TantricEmu t1_j7g75qr wrote
Is this supposed to be part of the reading line?

It was once part of the Reading Line, yeah.

Yeah I’ve been hearing they’re trying to get the reading line back up and running. That’s exciting.

What do you mean? Reading isn't a railroad anymore and these tracks are currently the SEPTA Norristown line.
Are you thinking of the old Reading Viaduct in callowhill?
