Radnor Station is a commuter rail station located in the western suburbs of Philadelphia in Radnor, Pennsylvania.〔(Google maps )〕 It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains. Radnor Station was originally built in 1872, according to the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings project. It was a replacement for the former Morgan's Corner Station built by the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad.〔(Morgan's Corner P&C RR station, 1856 (Existing Railroad Stations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania) )〕 The station was designed by Joseph M. Wilson and Frederick G. Thorn, both later of Wilson Brothers & Company, architects. Radnor's design was a brick variant of Wynnewood Station, with a two story agent's residence addition. A nearly identical version of Radnor Station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad at Hawkins, just east of Pittsburgh.〔Wilson Brothers & Co., "Catalogue of Work Executed," 1885.〕 After electrification, in 1917 a synchronous compensator for delivering reactive power was installed (see Amtrak's 25 Hz traction power system). This device was later removed. Between 1999 and 2002, SEPTA restored and renovated the historic station building. The station building was restored, its historic eastbound shelter replaced with a modern structure, and new platforms, ramps, lighting, and signage were installed. The ticket office at this station is open weekdays 5:55 a.m. to 1:25 p.m. excluding holidays. There are 220 parking spaces at the station. This station is 13.0 track miles (21 km) from Philadelphia's Suburban Station. In 2011, the average total weekday boardings at this station was 487, and the average total weekday alightings was 623.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radnor (SEPTA Regional Rail station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
