Wissahickon

Philadelphia, Italy

Wissahickon station is a passenger rail station on SEPTA's Manayunk/Norristown Line in Northwest Philadelphia. In FY 2013, Wissahickon station had a weekday average of 410 boardings and 452 alightings. The station was recently upgraded as part of a major reconstruction project that involved the inte

gration of a former trackless trolley electrical substation and short-turn loop known as the Wissahickon Transit Center, located across Ridge Avenue and downhill from the rail station. On a typical weekday, the transfer center sees around 7,000 riders. in Sunday, Dec. 14 2025, a new terminal opened next to the old loop, with the old loop closing on that date. The new terminal provides new berths. This is to prepare Wissahickon Transit Center to host more routes when the New Bus Network begins, as Route 52 already came here starting today.
