22nd Street station (SEPTA)
22nd Street station is an underground trolley station in Center City, Philadelphia that serves the SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines. Similar to 19th Street station, three blocks east of it, the station has two side platforms and a total of four tracks. The station serves only subway–surface trolleys on the two outer tracks; the Market-Frankford Line subway uses the two inner tracks and bypasses the station as it travels between 15th Street and 30th Street station. The station was constructed by the Philadelphia Transportation Company in 1955, a replacement for the nearby 24th Street station just north of Market Street at the east end of the now-removed shared train and trolley bridge over the Schuylkill River. The former station site is now the Crown Lights Building (a tall rectangular black skyscraper topped with four large LED message boards atop its upper sides), the headquarters of PECO Energy. History 22nd Street station was opened October 15, 1955 by the Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC), built to replace the elevated 24th Street station that was opened in 1905 by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) and for the first two years formed part of a subway–surface trolley loop operating underground between and the Schuylkill
