PlanPhilly: SEPTA Approves $7.5M for Paoli Train Station

The board approved about $7.5 million for design of a new rail station.

At a Jan. 26 meeting, the SEPTA Board took a big step forward in the Paoli Rail Yard project, according to PlanPhilly.com's Anthony Campisi. The decision to approve a large design contract for the project came late in the meeting, after a series of contract approvals for Center City projects.

The board also approved a nearly $7.5 million contract to Gannett Fleming Inc. for design of a new Paoli regional rail station. Long a priority of [Tredyffrin] Township, the Chester County municipality where the station is located, the current plan would involve building a new station 80 feet west of the current location that better connects with SEPTA and private buses and involves a reworking of a nearby Amtrak interlocking, as well as the installation of high-level platforms.

State Rep. Warren Kampf relayed the news on his Facebook page.
