History

The original station was designed by Joseph M. Wilson and built in 1869 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was demolished in 1963, and replaced by a mid-20th Century mock-colonial style structure. The former freight house on the south side of the tracks, which dates back to 1870, is currently a local restaurant.[2]

The interlocking tower was placed in service on August 11, 1895 but suffered a fire in 1994 and its duties were transferred to Paoli Tower.[7][8][9]

The original substation constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1913–1915 at the station was part of a project to electrify the line between Broad Street Station in Philadelphia and Paoli Station and was the first catenary electrification project done by the Pennsylvania Railroad.[10][11] The substation has since been relegated to switching duties.[12] It was proposed in 2013 that this substation be replaced as part of a larger project, but that was rejected by local government.[12]

A train crash occurred at the station on May 18, 1951 injuring 63 and killing 8.[13] There is also an interlocking tower and an interlocking at this station.[14]

Station layout

Bryn Mawr has two low-level side platforms with pathways connecting the platforms to the inner tracks. It also contains a tunnel below the tracks connecting the two platforms.
