Lamokin Street (SEPTA station)
- Lamokin Street (SEPTA station)
The Lamokin Street SEPTA Station is a former SEPTA Regional Rail station located on SEPTA's R2-Marcus Hook/Wilmington/Newark line at Lamokin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania, adjacent to an electrical substation that provides electrical power to both Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and SEPTA's R3-Media/Elwyn lines. Prior to its closing in 2003 due to infrequent use (it was classified as a "flag stop" station, which required passengers to tell the train crew that they wanted to board or depart prior to arrival), the station also served as the junction for the abandoned Chester Creek Branch that was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad before its abandonment (due to damage caused by Hurricane Agnes) in 1972. SEPTA R2 service in Chester is currently handled by the Highland Avenue and Chester Transportation Center stations.
