North Broad is a SEPTA Regional Rail station located at 2601 North Broad Street (PA 611) south of Lehigh Avenue along the SEPTA Main Line. Unlike most stations, such as Wayne Junction, only the Lansdale/Doylestown Line and Manayunk/Norristown Line serve this station, while most trains pass by the station. The station had low-level platforms on the outside tracks.

The historic station building on Broad Street is now in use by a different occupant and is sealed off from the platforms, although the name on the building remains. Just across Broad Street to the west is the site of Baker Bowl, which was the home of the Philadelphia Phillies from 1887 through June of 1938. The triangular building visible in the station photo here was originally a Ford Motor Company building, and appears in the background of many photos of Baker Bowl.

North Broad Station is within a few blocks of the North Philadelphia SEPTA-Amtrak station (formerly belonging to the Pennsylvania Railroad), which serves Amtrak's Keystone Service, Northeast Regional and SEPTA's two Chestnut Hill Lines, and the North Philadelphia subway station on SEPTA's Broad Street Line.
