Philadelphia (Girard Ave.)		This station was on the south side or Girard Avenue near North 31st Street on the NE side of the tracks at GPS: 39.974888, -75.186924.
Philadelphia (Grand Avenue)		The Grand Avenue freight station was at the NW corner of West Master Street and North 32nd Street at GPS: 39.978513, -75.187956. The station is labeled "Grand Av. Freight Station" on the 1918 Sanborn map, but it is unclear why it was called that as there is no Grand Avenue anywhere nearby. Perhaps this was a misprint and it should have been Girard Avenue as that street is two blocks south of where the station was located.
Philadelphia (Master St.)		The Master Street freight station was on the west side of 8th Street between Master Street and West Thompson Street at GPS: 39.972772, -75.149940. It is not shown on the 1917 Sanborn Map (although there was a freight yard here), but is on the 1951 revision.

The building was formerly a residence owned by Amos Ellis. Ellis transferred the building to the PG&N on September 26, 1867. It was torn down in 1909 so a new station could be built on the same site (Perkasie Central News, 8-19-1909). Between 1909 and 1911 (when the new station opened, see below) the RR built a temporary wooden structure just down the tracks to handle passenger traffic.

Philadelphia		The first station at 9th and Green Streets was built in 1832 by the PG&N. After almost 20 years, it was too small to handle the increase in traffic so the station listed below was built.
Philadelphia		This station, built in 1851, was located on 9th and Green Streets and replaced the station listed above. Originally a combination station, passenger operations closed in 1893 with the opening of the Spring Garden station next door and the Reading Terminal. It continued to serve as a freight station until 1909 when it was demolished for a coaling station and track imporvements to Spring Garden.
Philadelphia		"The original viaduct had mostly iron bridges over the roads that were of lower height than what exists today. During the construction of the viaduct Reading built a temporary station at 9th and Spring Garden streets that straddled both sides of the viaduct and transformed the station at 9th and Green into a freight only terminal. Around 1909 Reading had maxed out their office space and decided to build an annex office building at the site of the temporary station. The western portion of the temporary station was integrated into the new building which is still standing at 915 Spring Garden Street. Until the late 1980s the eastern side of the building contained the functional remnants of that temporary station. In 1912 the Reading replaced the iron bridges over Spring Garden Street with current masonry structure. At the same time they demolished they remaining half of the temporary train station and built the structure which is currently threatened with demolition." --Timothy Reimer (2021)

1895 PHILADELPHIA COUNTY RAILROAD MAP
Map Of Original Railroad Stations In Downtown Philadelphia
Notes About Existing Stations... Allen Lane (PRR) - The shelter was added in 1890. Chestnut Hill (PRR) - Station was heavily modified when line was electrified in 1918. There was a brick freight station (now gone) along Evergreen at Shawnee Street at GPS: 40.075475, -75.208744. Fern Rock (SEPTA) - This station was built in 1956 to serve the Broad Street Subway Line. It was rebuilt in 1992 and now serves the SEPTA Warminster, Trenton, and Lansdale/Doylestown lines. North Philadelphia (PRR - 2900 North Broad) - Formerly known as Germantown Junction Station. On National Register Of Historic Places. The first station here opened in the 1870s. It was known as Germantown Junction and New York Junction. It was replaced by this station in 1896 and the name was changed from Germantown Junction to North Philadelphia in 1912 when the station was remodeled. The station was closed for railroad use in 1991 when it was replaced by an Amtrak station across the tracks. That Amtrak station subsequently closed Overbrook (PRR) - This is purported to be the oldest station on the Main Line from Overbrook to Paoli, dating from 1858. It is built entirely of wood and has seen much use and wear. It was formerly known as City Avenue Station. There is a splendid brick interlocking tower about 50 yards east of the station, and an artfully-built concrete bridge which carries City Line Ave. over the tracks. Here is an old photo. The westbound passenger shelter is on the Drexel Rd. side of the tracks. The descriptive information is for the inbound (Eastbound) station/ticket office/newsstand/residence near the signal tower on the 63rd St. side of the tracks. -- James Boylan Philadelphia (PRR - 30th & Market) - Consturction of this station started in 1927. On the aerial photo from September 7, 1930, the sign on the building reads "Opens Spetember 28, 1930." The station wouldn't actually open until 1933. Philadelphia (PRR - Suburban Station) - The 21-story office building atop the station served as the PRR's headquarters from 1930-1957. Philadelphia (PRR Fairhill Freight) - Original PRR LCL container transloading facility in Fairhill Yard. Addition to building built in 1945. +50,000sq ft clear span in original building with two overhead cranes and three indoor tracks and one outdoor track. Active rail-related facility. Philadelphia (PRR Ontario St. Freight) - Only the western end of this station still stands. Philadelphia (RDG - North Broad Street) - A previous station sat just north of this site and it was referred to as Reading's Huntingdon Street station. Queen Lane (PRR) - This station was originally one story. A second story was added in 1890. Philadelphia (RDG - 8th & Spring Garden) - The station still sits intact on the north corner of 8th and Spring Garden. It is a two-story building. The second story is an elevated passenger station. Philadelphia (RDG - 12th & Arch) - Also site of the Reading Terminal Market. The market predates the station (in fact it is the descendant of the original market at the the eastern end of Market Street that gave the street its current name). When the P&R bought the site, the elevated station permitted the market to continue below. This station was eventually replaced by SETPA's Market East station when the PRR and Reading commuter lines were connected in the early 80's. The station's old buildings are in use for several purposes. The old train shed is now part of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Another part of the station is now part of a large food market with fresh and prepared foods served in stalls. The rest of the terminal is now a Hard Rock Cafe and office building. The Market East station is a block south of Reading Terminal and is located beneath The Gallery which is a large indoor mall. This is the second station to be built at this location. This station cost the railroad $90,000 to build. Philadelphia (RDG - Spring Garden Street) - The station still sits intact on the north corner of 8th and Spring Garden. It is a two-story building. The second story is an elevated passenger station. Philadelphia (Jefferson) (SEPTA) - This station was built to replace the old Reading Terminal, and is three stories under the original Reading Terminal. The entire station is underground, and trains enter the station through the Center City Commuter Connection Tunnel in Philadelphia. Between 1984 and 2014, this station was called "Market East Station." Philadelphia (Penn Medicine) (SEPTA) - This station was originally named "University City" station. In 2020, the station was renamed to "Penn Medicine" station when the University of Pennsylvania Health System signed a $3.3 million deal with SEPTA to change the name of the station. Shawmont (PG&N) - Originally built as a country summer house in 1826, the building passed through a couple of owners before it began serving in 1835 as a passenger/freight station for a private lumber business situated next to the Philadelphia, Germantown & Norristown RR and the Schuylkill Navigation System Canal. Ownership of the station passed to the PG&N (sold for $1 by the owner at the time) in 1857 and a small freight house was soon constructed across the tracks. The station was called "Green Tree" from 1835-1873 and was at one time referred to as Nixon Street Station. The Shawmont Station is the oldest, original railroad station in the United States as the the 1831 station at Ellicot City, MD has been through restoration and been altered. It was built in the "Greek Revival" style and had the roof mouldings re-modeled and an addition put on the back in the 1870's. It also resembled a typical stagecoach stop, as many early PG&N stations did in the 1830's. It will likely become a national landmark in the years to come. The station was closed by SEPTA in 1991.
