.. as part of Septa's upgrading of the station on the R8 Fox Chase line.
There's a community meeting tomorrow night, Oct. 23rd, at the First Presbyterian Church of Olney, 3rd St. and Tabor Ave, from 6:30 to 7:30.
This is the last original Reading station on the Fox Chase line. There are wooden ones on the disused section to Newtown, but I think that all the rest of the original stations are long gone. It's brick, so it's survived for many years, even though Septa doesn't use it any longer.
I'm curious as to how much community support there will be to save this building, so I'm going to attend the meeting tomorrow. I have fond memories of this area as a kid, since both sets of grandparents lived very close to this station, so I hope there's a way to save it.
