The Chester Creek Branch was a 7.25-mile (11.67 km) railroad line that operated in southern Delaware County, Pennsylvania, from 1869 to 1972.
The Chester Creek line was operated and leased by the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central Railroad (owner of the WC&P), which owned the locomotives and rolling stock.
In the late 1970s, the line was deeded to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) by a PC holding company named American Premier Underwriters.
[7] Friends of the Chester Creek Branch received funding and approval for construction of a 2.8 mile segment of a rail trail, which was completed in late 2016.
A ribbon cutting ceremony for Phase I was held on April 8, 2017, and Delaware County is now moving ahead with expanding the trail further.
