Chester Pike/Sharon Hill station is a station on theD inSharon Hill, Pennsylvania. Theterminus of the D2, the single track ends where it meets Chester Pike (US 13). Trolleys arriving at this station originate from69th Street Transit Center inUpper Darby Township, Pennsylvania. The station has a shed with a roof where people can go inside when it is raining. It is also about a half-mile walking distance of theSharon Hill Regional Rail station which serves theWilmington/Newark Line (formerly R2). However, due to the narrow nature of the neighborhoods and the overall distance, no direct connection exists between the two stations.
Though Sharon Hill is the terminus of the line,CSX'sPhiladelphia Subdivision freight line bridge crosses over the tracks between here and MacDade Boulevard station, resulting in the large dip upon entering the station from the north.[1] Flooding often occurs in the underpass and as a result, shuttle buses between the two stations are used as substitutes for trolley cars.
