22nd Street station is a subway station in Philadelphia. It is located in Center City and serves the SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines. Similar to 19th Street station, it has two side platforms with a total of four tracks. Only the two outer tracks serve the station; the two inner tracks are used for the Market-Frankford Line as it travels between 15th Street and 30th Street station. Since the station is only served by the trolley lines, there is no fare collection at the station; all fares are paid on board the trolley itself. This will change with the SEPTA Key system, as turnstiles will be installed at this station.

22nd Street Station was a replacement for the former 24th Street station, constructed by the Philadelphia Transit Company.


24th Street Station was a station on the Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) Subway-Surface Trolley System, located at 24th and Market (not really an intersection). The station was built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) for its passengers wanting to board a trolley for a faster way into Center City Philadelphia and passengers transferring from the nearby Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at 24th Street Station (no physical connections) that ran underneath the subway-surface lines for a way into Center City. The Subway-Surface Trolley Lines that served this Station were Routes 10, 11, 31 (until 1949), 34, 37 & 38.
