East = to Lindenwold

West = to 15th-16th and Locust

 

 

Harry Kyriakodis advises that the Philadelphia portion is leased from the city of Philadelphia and DRPA (Delaware River Port Authority- the Parent company of PATCO) pays rent for use of this subway. We do not know the   "Landlord" to whom PATCO pays rent.

Unless noted, all stations have two tracks and a high island platform. 

15TH – 16TH & LOCUST

 

 

15th-16th and Locust only one track is used except during Rush hours when both tracks are used. Tracks continue to 18th Street and at one time were to continue to 46th Street but finances stopped this pre-PATCO extension. Columns are tiled in light yellow with cream and the platform pavers are three tone grey. The mezzanine has nature relief elements in the tile. This station has full ADA. This station connects to the underground concourse. 

12TH – 13TH & LOCUST

 

 

12th-13th and Locust only one track is used except during Rush hours when both tracks are used. Columns are tiled in rose with cream and the platform pavers are three tone grey. The mezzanine has nature relief elements in the tile. This station connects to the underground concourse.

FRANKLIN SQUARE

 

 

Franklin Square was last used during the American Bicentennial. Sources outside of DRPA and PATCO advise that studies are planned on its fate. It has a center exit from what appears to be two side platforms but in fact the platform is one island platform with the exit in the middle of the platform surrounded by a curtain wall. Tile is white with green accents like the Broad Street Line

We now cross the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Locals advise that there were plans for a station in the towers of the bridge. 

CITY HALL CAMDEN

 

 

City Hall Camden has a closed passageway to Rutgers Camden which, according to locals, was closed due to crime concerns. The platform pavers are like 12th and 13th and Locust and columns are tiled in red and cream. The mezzanine has exits to Arch Street at the east end and Market Street on the east end. The Cooper Street exit is closed. A conversation with a local user of the station advised that the Rutgers passageway (Cooper Street exit) was straight ahead and went under the street. The mezzanine, in Broad Street style is white tile with blue accents. Due to new skylights, the station is light and airy.  

BROADWAY CAMDEN

 

 

Broadway, Camden has two tracks and an island platform. It is beneath Broadway and Martin Luther King Blvd. The station has an exit at each end of the platform. The West end (Philadelphia Bound end) has a stairway and an escalator up to a building on the West Side of Broadway that serves as a waiting room for the River Line. The East end has stairway, escalator, and ADA elevator leading up to the Walter Rand Transportation Center on the east sided of Broadway, which also houses a large NJT (and Greyhound) bus depot and waiting room with restrooms and newsstand, and the PATCO Police Station. Broadway was the end of the original Bridge Line. When PATCO extended the line east, the double crossover was installed just east of the station.
