The loop opened in 2012 to serve then-SEPTA Route 15 trolleys. In that same year, Route 15 was redirected to this loop, due to the reconstruction of Interstate 95 (I-95) near Richmond Street. The I-95 reconstruction project caused the trolleys to be redirected to Frankord–Delaware station, while service to Richmond–Westmoreland station was replaced with buses.[1] From 2020 until 2024, the whole of then-SEPTA Route 15 ran with buses, due to the SEPTA PCC IIs needing refurbishment.[2] On June 16, 2024, eight newly-refurbished SEPTA PCC III cars, alongside buses, returned to service on the whole of Route 15.[3]
