Deggesty adkdivfan In April 1958 B&O Royal Blue Line service between Baltimore and Jersey City was discontinued, and the B&O station at 24th & Chestnut Streets closed. Back to Philadelphia, briefly. Has anybody noticed how the pospulation of Philadelphia has changed since the station was closed? 1950--2,071,605; 1960--2,002,512; 1970--1,949,996; 1980--1,688,210; 1990--1,585,577 (I looked in the 1993 World Almanac, so I did not get the 2000 census result).
