At the intersection of Broad Street and Washington Avenue, the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad ended at the Southwark Rail-Road.
[citation needed] The tracks on Broad Street were removed in 1870.
Around the same time, tracks were built along the riverfront from the yard at the river north to Almond Street (now Kenilworth Street), connecting it to the Pennsylvania Railroad's Delaware Extension.
In 1881, the Pennsylvania Railroad bought up the majority of the PW&B's stock.
The company was later merged into the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad, another PRR subsidiary.
