History[]

Overbrook station in 1984

The current station building was constructed around 1860 on the inbound (eastbound) side. The station, platforms, and canopies were restored from 1999 to 2003 in a $9.1 million project. A smaller shelter serves westbound passengers.

Amtrak served Overbrook with some westbound Keystone Service trips until 1987.^[4]
