The Reading Birdsboro Train Station was a train station on the former SEPTA diesel service line extending from the Norristown section of the Manayunk/Norristown Line in Pennsylvania. According to some sources, the Colebrookdale Railroad Trust, abpreservation society received a grant from Harrisburg to relocate the train station building to Colebrookdale.[2] The newly relocated train station will be part of a revitalized 40 mile of the Colebrookdale Lune between Pottstown, Pennsylvania and Boyertown, Pennsylvania as a heritage railway geared towards tourists.[3] The station was originally built by the Reading Railroad, and was taken out of service in 1981, when SEPTA cancelled diesel service to Pottsville.
