Architect Horace Trumbauer was known for his incredibly opulent mansions of the Gilded Age, but his work wasn’t just limited to such. In 1923, he was hired by the Reading Rail Company to design the Jenkintown-Wyncote Station. The Queen Anne-style station is one of the few made of stone on this list. When it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the nomination noted that the “current station is one of the last traditional passenger stations constructed in the region before World War II and the subsequent rise of the American car culture.”

Serviced by the Chestnut Hill East line, Gravers Station (formerly Gravers Lane Station) was designed by Frank Furness in 1882. True to Furness fashion, it’s been described as “gawky” and “histrionic.” But its architecture is notable enough for the station to be deemed historic on both a national and local level.

This train station on the Chestnut Hill East Line was built in 1875 and designed by Frank Furness of Furness & Evans Co. Described as having an “aggressive silhouette,” the station stands out for its gabled roof and Queen Anne Stick-style architecture.

Located on the Paoli/Thorndale line, Berwyn Station has been restored over the years and now doubles as the home of The Frame Station Gallery. Built in 1884 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the quaint station has a pedestrian bridge over its tracks that used to carry cars, too.

Radnor Station was designed in the 1880s by Joseph M. Wilson and Frederick G. Thorn, two architects that would later work for the famed Wilson Brothers & Company. Like many of the stations along the regional rail, Radnor Station had a residence built within for the rail agent. The historic station was most recently restored by SEPTA between 1999 and 2002.

No, this station doesn’t exactly qualify as “beautiful,” but it certainly is historically significant: Shawmont Station is the oldest passenger railroad station in the U.S.

The station dates back to 1834, when it was part of the Philadelphia, Germantown & Norristown Railroad and named Green Tree station. At this point, most trains were pulled by horses, and the line only saw one train service per day.

It’s unconfirmed, but it’s assumed that the Greek Revival-style station was designed by William Strickland, who was the chief architect of the railroad company at the time. In modern times, Shawmont Station served as a stop along the Manayunk/Norristown line on the Regional Rail, until SEPTA cut its service in 1996. It’s now on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

We end our trip in Wilmington, Delaware at the only train station on this list that’s not located in Pennsylvania. Designed by Frank Furness and opened in 1908, it’s one of the biggest and grandest train stations along the SEPTA Regional Line, and serves as the state’s biggest transportation hub. Furness designed the station so that the trains arrived on the second floor, which offers passengers in waiting a view of the building’s four-faced, stone and terra cotta clock tower.

The station, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was technically renamed in 2011 after vice president and Delaware resident Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Biden, affectionately called Amtrak Joe, traveled to and from the station to D.C. by Amtrak every day while in the Senate.
