22nd Street is an underground tram station for the SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines, in Center City, Philadelphia. Similar to 19th Street Station, the station has two side platforms with a total of four tracks. Only the two outer tracks serve the station; the two inner tracks are used for the Market-Frankford Line as it travels between 15th Street and 30th Street. Since the station is only served by the trolley lines, there is no fare collection at the station; all fares are paid on board the trolley itself.
22nd Street Station was a replacement for the former 24th Street Station, built by the Philadelphia Transit Company.
Famous quotes containing the word street:
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
