Tasker–Morris station is a rapid transit passenger rail station on SEPTA's Broad Street Line.[2] It is located at 1600 South Broad Street in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and serves only local trains. The station is named for the nearby Tasker Street to the north and Morris Street to the south. In between the two streets is a customer service office for the Philadelphia Gas Works.
The streets Tasker and Morris were named after Thomas P. Tasker and Henry and Stephen Morris, the two families that founded the companies Morris, Tasker & Morris, and later the Pascal Iron Works, which occupied a site on Fifth Street between the two streets that would later take their name.[3]
The song "Tasker-Morris Station" by The Menzingers is about the station. The song "Wedding Singer" by Modern Baseball also references the station.
