Station history Originally called Haverford College station, the first station building was located south of the current location on the original path of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. Until 1870, the tracks ran down what is now Railroad Avenue (between The Haverford School and Haverford College). In 1870, the Bryn Mawr cutoff rerouted the tracks to their current alignment in an attempt to eliminate curves and grades. The station house on the north side of the grade was built in 1870 (although some sources claim the origins to be roughly around 1880) by the Wilson Brothers architectural firm for the Pennsylvania Railroad,. The station was built with an outcrop bay window on the first story which was removed when the mainline was expanded from two tracks to four.
