SEPTA completes station restoration
advertisement
Last week, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) representatives joined local officials to mark the completion of a year-long project designed to restore the Morton Station to its original 19th Century appearance.
The station, which serves the Media/Elwyn regional rail line, has played “a key role in the borough’s development from farming community and summer vacation hot spot to a first-generation commuter suburb,” SEPTA officials said in a prepared statement. The renovations recognize the station’s historical significance, they said.
Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1880, the station features a Victorian Gothic architectural style. The renovations were part of a three-station capital construction contract funded by federal stimulus funds for a total of $1.37 million.
