A set of SEPTA Silverliners pause at Whitford station ducking the massive 1906 PRR built bridge which measures 375 feet across. The station, no longer in service, was built in 1880. On August 2, 1984, the station house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge itself was built in 1906 for the PRR and is a pin-connected Parker through truss. It was two-tracked with overhead catenary and was part of a bypass known as the P&T (the Philadelphia and Thorndale Branch) which parallels the PRR main line between Frazer and Thorndale. It was abandoned by Conrail in 1989.
