Remarks & Notes 
Amtrak's ACS-64, No. 600 "David Gunn" leads an Amtrak Regional Express into the curve at Claymont, DE, passing the soon to be moved station. The original station, built by the Pennsylvania Railroad burned down on July 25th, 1981 and was replaced by the Delaware Department of Transportation in 1991. SEPTA is the sole provider of service here, with service returning in 1991 after an 8 year hiatus.

Sometime in 2020, this station will be replaced with the Claymont Regional Transportation Center. "The new station will be located 1⁄2 mile north of the current station at the former site of Evraz Claymont Steel, which is being redeveloped into a mixed-use office, commercial, and light industrial development, and will have connections to area roads, public transportation, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Plans for the new station date back to 2005. On July 29, 2016, the Claymont Regional Transportation Center received a $10 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The new station is projected to cost $40 million." - wiki.
