Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority representatives, joined by elected officials and community members, celebrated the Authority's rebuilt Langhorne train station facility at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Juune 28. The Langhorne Station serves passengers on SEPTA's West Trenton Regional Rail line. "The improvements and new building at Langhorne Station demonstrate SEPTA's commitment to investing in our communities," said SEPTA General Manager Joseph Casey. "We are pleased to provide our current and future passengers with a comfortable place to wait for their trains, complete with technological advancements." The new Langhorne Station building features energy efficient heating, cooling and lighting systems; expanded indoor and outdoor passenger waiting areas and a restroom. The station improvements project also included the installation of new electrical and communications systems, as well as an audiovisual public address system. The 18-month project cost $1.4 million and was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. "We thank our customers, Middletown Township and Langhorne, Langhorne Manor and Penndel Boroughs for their patience and support throughout the construction period," Casey said. "The end result of this project is a beautiful station we will enjoy for many years to come."
