82 inbound at Baltimore Pike at Clifton Heights on the Sharon Hill Line in the late 1950s.
Until August 1930, the Southern Pennsylvania Traction's Media-Angora line crossed the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Sharon Hill line at Baltimore Pike at a right angle, requiring two crossovers for the single track SPT trolley and the double track (later Red Arrow) trolleys on private right of way.
The station building to the left also housed the substation equipment to power the Sharon Hill line.
