History
The Philadelphia and Western Railroad began stopping at this transit location in 1907 as part of the railroad's plans to connect Philadelphia with Parkesburg.[1] The 103 bus right-of-way was once part of the Ardmore branch of the Red Arrow trolleys,[2] but it was paved to make way for buses when the trolley line was discontinued in 1966.[3]
The Norristown Line bridge was rebuilt circa 1992 during system-wide renovations.[4]
In popular culture
This Philadelphia-area band Ardmore Junction, whose 1990s theme song was "High Speed Line," was named after the Ardmore Junction station—the station traveled to by guitarist Dan Mason to connect with fellow band member Kevin Shober.[5]
