MacDade Boulevard station (formerly Collingdale) is SEPTA Route 102 trolley stop in Collingdale, Pennsylvania. The station is located on MacDade Boulevard. It is the last stop before Sharon Hill, and the last stop to run along Woodlawn Avenue. Trolleys arriving at this station travel between 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania and Chester Pike down in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania. The station has a shed with a roof where people can go inside when it is raining.
Between the MacDade Boulevard and Sharon Hill stops, CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision freight line bridge crosses over the tracks.
