Millbourne (MFL station)
Encyclopedia
Millbourne Station is a ground-level stop on the Market-Frankford Line
, near the intersection of Millbourne Avenue and Market Street in Millbourne, Pennsylvania.
The station was formerly called 66th Street, as it is half way in between 63rd Street in Philadelphia and 69th Street in Upper Darby. It was reopened on June 16, 2008 following a total reconstruction.
Before reconstruction, only "B" trains stopped at Millbourne. However, during the reconstruction both "A" and "B" trains stopped here, effectively ending skip-stop
operation west of Center City on the Market-Frankford Line. With the completion of construction of the west end operations, "A" and "B" stops have resumed at Millbourne with only "B" trains making stops during peak hours.
As far as the SEPTA heavy rail system is concerned, the Millbourne station (alongside the 69th Street Terminal
) is one of two stations located outside Philadelphia proper.
