Tioga station is an elevated rapid transit station on the SEPTA Market–Frankford Line in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at the intersection of Kensington Avenue, Tioga Street, and K Street in the Harrowgate neighborhood of the city. The station is also served by SEPTA City Bus routes 3 and 89.

History

Tioga is part of the Frankford Elevated section of the line, which began service on November 5, 1922.^[1][3][4][5]

Between 1988 and 2003, SEPTA undertook a $493.3 million reconstruction of the 5.5-mile (8.9 km) Frankford Elevated.^[5] Most of Tioga station was completely rebuilt on the site of the original station, though the eastbound platform exit uses a component of the original station. The reconstruction project included new platforms, elevators, windscreens, and overpasses, and the station now meets ADA accessibility requirements.^[5] The line had originally been built with track ballast and was replaced with precast sections of deck, allowing the station (and the entire line) to remain open throughout the project.^[6]

During the Market–Frankford's rush-hour skip-stop service pattern, Tioga was only served by "A" trains. This practice was discontinued on February 24, 2020.^[7][8]

Station layout

Access to the station from street level is west of the five-way intersection, situated between East Tioga Street and K Street. There is also an exit-only staircase from the eastbound platform to an area south of the intersection, situated between East Tioga Street and Kensington Avenue in Harrowgate Park.
