An Amtrak Regional whips past Prospect Park station along the NEC en route to Wilmington, DE and points South. The former PRR station, officially known as "Prospect-Moore" station is now served by SEPTA commuter trains. It was built in 1911 replacing an older station built by the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad. The name "Moore" comes from the original land owner James L. Moore who owned most of the land over which the railroad tracks are laid. In deeding this land to the railroad on May 5, 1873, he specified that the station and the buildings built there should be known as Moore. The railroad is still bound by this deed.
