Until 2005, [[CSX]]'s [[Trenton Subdivision (CSX Transportation)|Trenton Subdivision]] freight line and the Fox Chase Line shared track from [[Newtown Junction]] to a point just south of Cheltenham station, where SEPTA trains utilized a crossover to travel to/from the freight track. These tracks are now segregated, with a siding having been installed between Cheltenham and Lawndale stations for SEPTA use during peak hours. Further north, the freight line eventually joins SEPTA's [[West Trenton Line (SEPTA)|West Trenton Line]] between [[Neshaminy Falls station|Neshaminy Falls]] and [[Langhorne station|Langhorne]] although the tracks no longer connect, and outbound passengers must now cross the inbound track to exit the station. |
