Cecil B. Moore, also known as Cecil B. Moore/Temple University, formerly Columbia, is a subway stop on the
SEPTA Broad Street Line in the
Cecil B. Moore neighborhood in
North Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. It is a local station that has four tracks, with only the outer two being served. There are separate fare control areas for northbound and southbound trains, with no crossover, and a large pavilion entrance with an escalator on the northbound side. This is the main station serving
Temple University, and therefore is one of the busiest stops on the line.
Susquehanna–Dauphin station, six blocks north, also serves Temple University, although it is further from many of the main locations on campus.
