The station is located on Highland Avenue (US 13 Business) and 6th Street in Chester, PA. Highland Avenue is a small station, less built up and less patronized than the larger station in Chester, Chester Transportation Center.

The site of Subaru Park, the home venue of soccer team Philadelphia Union, however, is located nearby; however, since the club provides a complementary matchday shuttle from Chester Transportation Center, Highland Avenue remains little used.

In 2011, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission studied whether to close Highland Avenue and to replace it with a new station at Engle Street, placing it closer to Subaru Park.

[4] Highland Avenue has two low-level wooden side platforms with walkways connecting passengers to the inner tracks.

Amtrak's Northeast Corridor lines bypass the station via the inner tracks.
