Remarks & Notes 
Wayne station - built by the Pennsylvania Railroad way back in 1882, this station sits 14.5 miles west of Philadelphia, PA and is located long the former PRR mainline between Harrisburg, PA, and Philadelphia. Today it is owned by Amtrak though served only by SEPTA's commuter trains.

What you see is the result of a 12 year restoration that lasted between 1998 and 2010 and included repair or replacement of the chimney, masonry, windows, doors, and the retaining wall. A second phase of improvements replaced the roof, repaired masonry and structural members, and made other upgrades to the station building. The outbound shelter, dating from about 1890, was rebuilt, mostly with new materials. New high level platforms built to the east but adjacent to the station meant that trains no longer stop in front of the station itself, except in special cases. During 1999, a year after the restoration began, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
