Eastwick station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Philadelphia. It serves the Airport Line to Philadelphia International Airport. Located below 84th Street and situated between Mario Lanza Boulevard and Bartram Avenue (PA 291), it is the sole stop between central Philadelphia and the Philadelphia International Airport Terminals. Eastwick is within walking distance of the Eastwick Loop station of the 36 trolley which is located at Island Avenue and 80th Street. In 2013, this station saw 367 boardings and 421 alightings on an average weekday. The station is accessed from Interstate 95 northbound via exit 10 and southbound via exit 12B. Access to the station is granted via a cul-de-sac off of Bartram Avenue and also from Mario Lanza Boulevard. Pedestrians and drivers coming from 84th Street must use either Crane Street to Lanza Boulevard or 84th to south on Bartram. While the station has no official SEPTA parking lot, a number of parking spaces along Mario Lanza Boulevard and Crane Street are used by commuters patronizing the stop. Eastwick station, located along the original Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad main line, was conceived as 84th Street, under which name (as "proposed") it appeared on 1984 SEPTA informational maps. The present minimalist station was erected in 1997 in order to serve newly built local office parks as quickly as possible. SEPTA, along with the City of Philadelphia, plans to expand the station, transforming it into the Eastwick Transportation Center.When the station opened, it was a Zone 2 station. On July 1, 2013, SEPTA changed Eastwick to a Zone 1 station in conjunction with a fare increase and zone realignment. On the same day, the airport stations changed from Zone 5 to Zone 4.

Southwest Philadelphia
Southwest Philadelphia

Southwest Philadelphia (formerly Kingsessing Township) is a section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The section can be described as extending from the western side of the Schuylkill River to the city line, with the SEPTA. The northern border is defined by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission as east from the city line along Baltimore Avenue moving south along 51st Street to Springfield Ave. It follows the train tracks until 49th Street. From 49th and Kingsessing Ave the line moves east along Kingsessing Ave. The line then moves south along 46th St to Paschall Ave where it jogs to join Grays Ferry where the line runs to the Schuylkill River.Southwest Philadelphia is also described by the city as being the area south of Baltimore Avenue; at the turn of the 20th century, Baltimore Avenue between 49th and 52nd Streets was known as "The Hub of Southwest Philadelphia" . Historically home to many Irish American neighborhoods, the section now has a large African American and West African immigrant population; a recent nickname is "Little Africa".Southwest Philadelphia contains Philadelphia International Airport, oil refineries, and other heavy industries. The housing stock is diverse with ornate Queen Anne-style twin mansions in the neighborhoods bordering Cedar Park, plainer and simpler styles of twins predominating closer to the airport, and newer rowhouses, many with porches, filling in many neighborhoods. Less than 1% of Southwest is covered by trees, giving it one of the lowest ratios of shade tree cover in the city.The Philadelphia Police Department patrols the 12th and 77th districts within Southwest Philadelphia.
