Originally built in 1938, Snyder station was the southern terminus of the Broad Street Line until 1973, when it was extended to Pattison Station (now named NRG Station). A connection exists to the never-built Passyunk Avenue Spur.[3] South Philadelphia High School and Methodist Hospital are located near the station.
