Until 1972, it was the junction for the Chester Creek Branch, controlled by nearby Lamokin Tower.

The branch line was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad and later Penn Central, until service ended in 1972 due to damage caused by Hurricane Agnes.

The station was classified as a flag stop, which required passengers to tell the train crew that they wanted to board or depart prior to arrival.

[1][2] The former site is adjacent to an electrical substation that provides power to both Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and SEPTA's Media/Wawa lines.

Highland Avenue and Chester Transportation Center stations nearby are still served by SEPTA.
