Schuylkill Haven station is a former railroad station in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. It was located at 12 West Main Street, which is currently occupied by the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad office building.[4]
The station was originally built by the Reading Railroad, and later served the SEPTA diesel service line that extended from the Norristown section of the Manayunk/Norristown Line to Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The station was taken out of service in 1981, when SEPTA cancelled its diesel service.
