Radnor station (SEPTA Regional Rail)
Radnor station (SEPTA Regional Rail)

Radnor station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Radnor, Pennsylvania. It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains. The 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. 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.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 2017, the average total weekday boardings at this station was 586, and the average total weekday alightings was 749.

Valley Forge Military Academy and College

Valley Forge Military Academy and College (VFMAC) is a private boarding school (grades 7–12) and military junior college in Wayne, Pennsylvania. It follows in the traditional military school format with Army traditions. Though military in tradition and form, the high school portion of VFMAC, Valley Forge Military Academy, is a college-preparatory boarding institution specializing in student leadership. VFMAC's administration is composed almost entirely of current or retired military, and the board of trustees is almost entirely alumni. Some graduates pursue careers in the armed services, and VFMAC has graduated one Rhodes Scholarship recipient. The school has established a tradition with the British monarchy, and it follows an American military academy model and practices the Army tradition. VFMAC has a British Army Garrison Sergeant Major, with William 'Billy' Mott, OBE MVO, Welsh Guards (organized the British Armed Forces for the Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Ceremonial Funeral of Baroness Thatcher and 13 Trooping the Colours) as the first Garrison Sergeant Major appointed as VFMAC staff. The Valley Forge Corps of Cadets, which is entirely student run, is the only American military organization that maintained British rank, drill, customs and ceremonies. All cadets must pass a board and earn a "Capshield" to be a member of the Corps of Cadets. It is the only Corps of Cadets in the United States to still have a traditional mounted battalion of one cavalry troop and one artillery battery. College cadet uniforms are styled after the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The VFMAC Regimental Sergeant Major, Drum Major and Field Music Drum Major wear the British Army Foot Guard uniform. Cadet Senior NCOs carry a British Army pace stick. Valley Forge Military College is the only private military junior college in the United States. All students are members of the Corps of Cadets. The academy and college were once fully residential, but in recent years, the academy also offers a day-student program.
