History
The station site in earlier years served
Amtrak spent $1.5 million to improve the station in 2011. It built a new shelter and installed a 550-foot (170 m) long concrete platform, signage and light poles. Developed by d+A Design+Architecture, LLC of Yardley, Pennsylvania, the shelter is composed primarily of rich red brick and has an enclosed, one-story waiting room with large windows. On the facades facing the street and the tracks, the waiting room is marked by stylized projecting bays faced with coursed ashlar stonework that adds texture to the overall elevation. The design is similar to Connellsville station in Pennsylvania.[6]
