Cecil B. Moore station is a subway station on the SEPTA Metro B in the Cecil B. Moore neighborhood in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a local station that has four tracks, with only the outer two being served. There are separate fare control areas for northbound and southbound trains, with no crossover, and a large pavilion entrance with an escalator on the northbound side. This is the main station serving Temple University, and therefore is one of the busiest stops on the line. Susquehanna–Dauphin station, six blocks north, also serves Temple University, although it is further from many of the main locations on campus. As of June 2007, Cecil B. Moore had an average of 5,644 daily boardings.PCPC North Broad St. Transportation and Access Study, June 2007.
History
Columbia station was opened as part of the Broad Street Line on September 1, 1928. Following the 1987 renaming of the station's namesake street Columbia Avenue in honor of Cecil B. Moore, the station was renamed in 1995.{{Cite web |title=CONTENTdm |url=https://digital.library.temple.edu/digital/collection/p245801coll0/id/5359/rec/25 |access-date=2024-01-24 |website=digital.library.temple.edu}}
