Did the Reading ever modernize their trainline phone system considering it remained in use well into the 90s? The photos I posted are of pretty aincient equipment. As new as Warminster station is, I'm surprised that it had a trainline phone so old in there. I don't know if that phone at Walnut Hill was still active in the 80s, or if the one near NX was just rigged to work with the operator at Ayers.
To some degree, it looks like SEPTA has their own system in certain places with the most current gray metal boxes stamped "Telephone". There are a few at some outlying stations, but you'll also find them at Temple U and just outside the portal after the breakoff on the 9th Street branch. You'll see the same boxes on the subways, and there is one in Warminster as well, although it looked like it was inoperative. I don't know much about this system, or if its even still used.
I know there are phones on the NEC as well, such as Torresdale station which has a touch-tone phone inside, and the numbers to neighboring towers such as Grundy and Holmes.
