The Richmond & Westmoreland Streets Loop (soon to be known as Richmond–Westmoreland station[2]) is a turning loop located in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The transit loop was built on part of the former PTC's Richmond Carhouse/Depot and is operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), which is located between Allegheny Avenue and Westmoreland Street. The transit loop serves as a terminus for several transit routes.

The transit routes that serve this terminus run to various parts of the City of Philadelphia.[3]

The transit lines that run from this loop are SEPTA Route 15, SEPTA Route 60 and SEPTA Route 73. These lines operate from three SEPTA Depots located around Philadelphia.
