'''Overbrook station''' is a [[SEPTA Regional Rail]] station on the [[Paoli/Thorndale Line]], located near 63rd Street and City Line Avenue ([[U.S. Route 1 in Pennsylvania|US 1]]) in the [[Overbrook, Philadelphia|Overbrook]] neighborhood of [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]. It serves many of the residents of Overbrook Farms and the suburban neighborhoods across City Avenue in neighboring [[Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Montgomery County]], as well as [[Saint Joseph's University]] and [[Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia]]. Overbrook has two low-level [[side platform]]s with pathways connecting the platforms to the inner tracks.

==History==
[[File:Overbrook station, July 1984.jpg|thumb|left|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.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.timetables.org/browse/?group=19870405&item=0025 |title=Amtrak National Train Timetables: Effective April 5, 1987 through October 24, 1987 |page=24 |publisher=Amtrak |date=April 5, 1987 |via=Museum of Railway Timetables}}</ref>

In 2009, the station was the site of a fire involving a [[Budd Silverliner|Budd Silverliner II]] electric multiple unit catching fire due to a faulty heater.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Araiza • • |first=Karen |date=2009-11-04 |title=SEPTA Train Catches Fire |url=https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/septa-train-on-fire/1865507/ |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=NBC10 Philadelphia |language=en-US}}</ref>
