  Profiles

The economic realities of operating a modern railroad have made secondary rail lines all over the country less than viable. Many of these secondary lines have been allowed to become unattractive. Some have been abandoned.  

Over the last three decades, there has been a national movement to create recreational green resources by using secondary or abandoned US rail infrastructure. Nationwide some of the most creative minds have developed imaginative strategies and methods to provide scenic trails for the public benefit. Delaware County is no exception. 

In 1994, several citizens in Delaware County organized the “Friends of the Chester Creek Branch” and laid the groundwork to convert the old “Chester Creek Branch” rail line to a multi-use trail.  The proposed trail would connect the historic Caleb Pusey Plantation in Upland with the SEPTA R3 station in Wawa.  This 6.7 mile trail would pass through Aston, Chester, and Middletown Townships in Delaware County, PA. 

Originally, the citizens worked through the auspices of the Delaware Valley Cycling Committee.  However, In the Fall of 1995, the Friends of the Chester Creek Branch were formally incorporated as part of the Chester-Ridley-Crum Creek Watersheds

Association (“CRC”).  CRC is a not-for-profit (IRS 501(c)(3))
