North of the station, the subway runs underneath Ridge Avenue past the abandoned Ridge-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, parallel to the PATCO Speedline for two blocks, until the B3 approaches its terminus at the 8th & Market Street station, located at 8th and Market Streets.
