When SEPTA took over they reopened Ivy Ridge and then in the late 80s (I'm going to say 1986) they condemned the Schuylkill River bridge and cut the line back to Cynwyd.Thanks very much!

Were they right next to the RDG stations?PRR Norristown was at Haws and Washington, I'm pretty sure. The only other station I know of was PRR Conshohocken, which I think was at Harry & Elm. It's the orangish building that's now a deli or something. You can see it clearly from the current Conshy station- it looks just like an old train station.
