Upton (PRR Station)
Upton station was a former railroad station of the Pennsylvania Railroad outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was constructed as a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's Main Line near the location where the rail line now crosses Interstate 476 between Villanova station and Radnor station, both of which are still operational as part of SEPTA Regional Rail Paoli/Thorndale Line service. Closure A possibly apocryphal reason regarding the closure of the station has been attributed to former Pennsylvania Railroad president A. J. Cassatt. According to the story, a wealthy land owner that leased property to the railroad to have the station built on was angered when a train passed without stopping to allow guests of his to board at the station. After the incident, the land owner complained directly to Cassett in person. Cassett gave his word that a train would never fail to make a scheduled stop at the station again. To fulfill his promise, Cassatt promptly had the station cl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
