Franklin Square and its abandoned PATCO station are located a block east of the station. North of the station, the subway runs underneath Ridge Avenue past the abandoned Spring Garden station, to the Fairmount station, after which it joins with the main tracks of the Broad Street Subway. South of the station, the subway tracks run along 8th Street and are shared with the PATCO Speedline for two blocks as the Broad-Ridge Spur approaches its terminus at the 8th Street station, located at 8th and Market Streets.
