History
[edit ]The Germantown railway station has existed since at least 1884 when it could be found in the same place it is today on the Chestnut Hill East line.[2] It was on SEPTA's R7 line until the regional-rail renaming.
On May 28, 2009, SEPTA approved a 1ドル.9 million rehabilitation effort which included the Germantown station.[3]
In 2013, this station saw 102 boardings and 140 alightings on an average weekday.[4]
