Huntingdon Valley station, and all of those north of Fox Chase station, was closed on January 18, 1983, due to failing diesel train equipment SEPTA had no desire to repair.

[1] In addition, a labor dispute began within the SEPTA organization when the transit operator inherited 1,700 displaced employees from Conrail.

SEPTA insisted on utilizing transit operators from the Broad Street Subway to operate Fox Chase–Newtown diesel trains, while Conrail requested that railroad motormen run the service.

Surviving tracks were removed by Montgomery County in summer 2014 for construction of the $2 million Pennypack Trail extension.
