Crum Lynne is an intermediate stop on the SEPTA Wilmington/Newark Line with two low-level side platforms for the four-track line. Wooden boarding platforms lead out to the express tracks with a fence running down the middle of the tracks to prevent trespassing across the high-speed northeast corridor. The two platforms begin just north of the bridges over the underpass of Chester Pike and run north. The platforms are connected by the sidewalk of Chester Pike. Each platform has a long staircase, with the staircase up to the Philadelphia-bound platform in particular having an intermediate pathway along the grassy embankment up to this platform. The steps were in really poor shape with wooden railings when I visited in 2013 but between then and 2016 they were rebuilt with the now normal green SEPTA station fencing.
The platforms each contain nearly identical little wooden old school waiting shelters with a bench beneath a gambled roof. The previously mentioned staircase provides the only entrance to the Philadelphia-bound platform. The Delaware-bound platform also contains an entrance in front of its shelter with five steps leading down from Ridley Avenue. Parking spaces (angled in front of the shelter, parallel on either side) along Ridley Avenue are for SEPTA Regional Rail customers with 14 SEPTA owned spaces, I assume these are the angled parking spaces, and 12 non-SEPRTA parking spaces that I assume are the parallel parking spaces.
