Octoraro Branch |
| Description: |
Constructed by the Philadelphia & Baltimore Central Railroad in 1859, this portion of the Octoraro Branch joined the West Chester & Philadelphia Railroad at Wawa Junction. Sections of the line were abandoned in the 1960s by the Pennsylvania Railroad, but the damaged caused by Hurricane Agnes in 1972 rendered this portion out of service. The line is still owned by SEPTA. (View from Station Road) |
