Check out my song "Pennsylvania Train." I live in Nashville now and I used to take the R2 into Philly to go to work. This song was inspired by my love for trains and time spent riding them. I hope you enjoy!
The old Fulmor station was on Warminster Rd. in Upper Moreland Twp., Montgomery County, PA, just across the tracks from Valley Green Apts.
All that is left is a paved asphalt ground-level platform and the concrete pad where a pre-fab shelter (about the size & shape of SEPTA's current bus shelters) once stood.
That pre-fab shelter replaced a small wooden station in the 1970s.
SEPTA put out a notice a few years ago that the AEM-7's, the ALP44 and the Bombardier coaches would be available sometime after 2010 when the new Silverliner V's are all in service. Believe that is still the plan.
Not only old, but Oaksmodelrr had to be up pretty early in the morning to get that shot!
Those "Bomber" (Bombardier) train sets left Warminster at 7:14 AM - I could hear them blowing for County Line Rd. (future PA Route 763??) when I was getting ready for work, and I lived just outside of Ivyland in Warminster at the time.
If you were to go up Park Ave. by the world headquarters of the W. Atlee Burpee Co. gardening giant, you will see the Warminster station just a couple hundred yards north of Burpee's.
You can access the Warminster station by highway from Jacksonville Rd. (PA 332) about a quarter mile south of Street Rd. (PA 132).
The Reading Company built the Warminster station in 1974.
Thank you. Found it on the map. Grew up 3 blocks from the Hatboro station. (Worked for the Reading as a station agent, including Hatboro and Willow Grove on the extra board during college). Can't believe the change. Haven't been back there since 73.
Actually, the rails go all the way to New Hope. The Reading Company sold the portion of that line north of Ivyland in 1966 to a private company, which became the New Hope & Ivyland RR.
On the NHRR (their reporting marks), there are passing sidings at Ivyland, Wycombe, Buckingham Valley and Lahaska.

Man these sound good. I dunno why SEPTA wants to rid of them.

What are you talking about trying to get rid of them?
dwm167 3 years ago
I heard a while back that SEPTA has thought about selling them in a past. Maybe they've decided to keep them since.

Just curious, but where is the Warminster station? When I lived there the electrics only went up to Hatboro.

Warminster Station is just south of Street Road.

In addition to my reply, if you have Google Earth (you can also use Mapquest, too), you can look up an aerial view of Warminster station.
Use this address, although it's for the PECO Energy facility across the street:
400 Park Ave.
Warminster, PA 18974

Great video, looking across Warminster Rd. into the borough of Hatboro from Upper Moreland Twp. at the beginning of the video.
The first crossing that the train is whistling for is Fulmor Ave. in Hatboro.

how does Septa maintain an efficient operation with only one track on certain parts of the network?
phantomlord54 4 years ago 2
The R2 Warminster line has a passing siding just north of Willow Grove.
It becomes double-tracked from Roslyn south to the junction at Glenside, where it joins the R5 Doylestown/Paoli line.
AshburnStadium 4 years ago
Yeah, you know I typed that question before seeing on a map that the northern R2 segment (north of the R5 line) is pretty short
phantomlord54 4 years ago
Actually, the rails go all the way to New Hope. The Reading Company sold the portion of that line north of Ivyland in 1966 to a private company, which became the New Hope & Ivyland RR.
On the NHRR (their reporting marks), there are passing sidings at Ivyland, Wycombe, Buckingham Valley and Lahaska.

So if I understand you, the last SEPTA stop is Warminster, but the line continues on past that?
phantomlord54 4 years ago
Yes, it continues for another 17 miles as the New Hope & Ivyland RR. (newhoperailroad*com)
Although there were more stations than listed below, the station buildings north of Warminster that survive today, from south to north, are:
Rushland
Wycombe
Buckingham Valley
Lahaska (built by NHRR in the late 20th century)
New Hope
