Bryn Athyn Station

Bryn Athyn Station was once known as Alnwick Station, named after the area around it, which included a nearby picnic area known as Alnwick Grove Park. When Bryn Athyn was incorporated as a borough in 1916, the station was renamed accordingly. The original station building was used until shortly after the turn of the 20th Century, when a new building was built across the tracks. The original station would then become a house, where it remains to this day.



In 1902 the current station building was built across the street from the old station. It was from here on December 5, 1921 that one of the trains would depart and later collide head on in a cut a couple of miles north, in what would later be known as the Paper Mills Wreck of 1921. This was the Reading Railroad 's deadliest accident at that time, killing over two dozen people and injuring dozens more. The building is now used as a post office and a community building. The former station canopy retains SEPTA signage installed in 1984-one year after train service had ended.
