Shuttered Shawmont Station along Schuylkill River Trail may soon get a new life
Trail-goers in far Northwest Philadelphia could get a cool new pit stop along the Schuylkill River Trail in the coming years. Why it matters: It's about time the restoration of the shuttered Shawmont Station — the oldest passenger railroad station in the U.S. — moves forward. Driving the news: The nonprofit Historic Shawmont Station Society is inching closer to securing a lease for the vacant station along the Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail Line tracks.
