Background
[edit | edit source]In FY 2017, the Link Belt station had a weekday average of 23 boardings and 20 alightings, making it the least used station in the SEPTA Regional Rail system.[2]
The Link Belt station was created by the Reading Railroad to service the Link-Belt Company plant built across East Walnut Street from the rail line in 1952, opening formally on December 2.[1] Link-Belt stopped operations in Colmar in 1983 and the former plant is now the headquarters of Dorman Products.
On December 18, 2011, weekend service was discontinued at this station due to low ridership.
