Philly’s Spring Garden railroad station to be torn down despite efforts to save it

The 110-unit building has been operating as a hotel since 2022. The new owners want to turn it back into an apartment complex.

The city has the authority to condemn the site of Phase 2, but isn’t ready to take definitive action. Meanwhile, Reading International shows no sign of letting it go.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said fewer disruptions on the tracks will mean trains can “operate the way they’re supposed to.”
