The Broad-Ridge Spur, including Spring Garden station, opened on December 21, 1932.[1] By the late 1980s, Spring Garden station was lightly used and exit-only; it was frequently occupied by drug users and dealers. After no substantial opposition from nearby residents, SEPTA closed the station on September 10, 1989.[2][3] The now abandoned station, visible from passing trains, is heavily graffitied.[4] A single entrance, covered with steel, is still present on the west side of Ridge Avenue just north of Buttonwood Street.[5]
