Buckingham Valley is a defunct station on the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. The original station building, designed by Furness, Evans & Company in 1891, closed in 1952 and was demolished in 1953.[2] The current station building was relocated to this site from the Valley Forge Scenic Railroad about 1970.[2]
The station is currently on the line used by the New Hope Railroad. While the station sits dormant, the property is currently used for Maintenance-Of-Way storage.
