Delaware Valley College is a small station along the SEPTA Lansdale/Doylestown Line. It is located on the campus of Delaware Valley College, just off of U.S. Route 202. This stop is often referred to as "Del Val". It was originally named Farm School by the Reading Company until the 1960s, reflecting the college's original name of National Farm School. A small-scale improvement project is in the planning to help beautify the station; if approved, hanging flower baskets, new paint and directory signs would be added to the structure.
Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or college:
“Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
