52nd Street station is an elevated stop on the Market-Frankford Line, above the intersection of 52nd Street and Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station lies at the junction of four neighborhoods. Haddington is to the northwest, Dunlap to the northeast, Walnut Hill to the southeast, and Cobbs Creek to the southwest.
The SEPTA bus routes serving 52nd Street are routes 31 and 52. 52nd Street is a major shopping corridor.
52nd Street station is one of the original Market-Frankford Elevated stations built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company in 1907. It was reconstructed in October 2006 as part of SEPTA's reconstruction of the Market Street Elevated line.
The News Media and Philadelphia Police Department have labeled this intersection the "Worst Corner In The City" due to the high crime and rate of shootings on the block. There were 16 shootings within a 4-month span beginning in June 2006.
