Merion station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station on the Paoli/Thorndale Line, located in Merion, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. Merion has two low-level side platforms with pathways connecting the platforms to the inner tracks.
History
The station building, constructed in 1917 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, is a designated historic station. It replaced an earlier structure built in the 1860s. It is one of the few historic stations to retain a complex of similarly-designed buildings: the passenger depot on the inbound side, and on the outbound side a still-active post office, outbound waiting room (now unused), and baggage building (also unused). SEPTA completed work to replace the station building's slate tile roof and renovate the outbound canopy in late 2007.
Amtrak stopped some westbound Silverliner Service trains at Merion until 1979.[6]
