Church Location within Philadelphia |
Church station is an elevated train stop on the Market-Frankford Line, above the intersection of Frankford Avenue and Church Street in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is the first station to run above Frankford Avenue, after previously running above Kensington Avenue.
Church station originally opened as the Ruan-Church station on November 5, 1922, one of eleven similar stations on the Frankford line. The station was renovated in the 2000s, making it ADA-accessible. During peak hours, Church is served by "B" trains only. Despite the fact that "Ruan" was removed from the station's name, street-level access to and from the station can be found on either side of Frankford Avenue halfway between Ruan and Church Streets.
