Wallingford is a railway station along the SEPTA R3 line, the former Pennsylvania Railroad West Chester Line. It is located at Kershaw Road & Possum Hollow Road(although SEPTA gives the address as "Kershaw Avenue"), Wallingford, Pennsylvania, 19086.

In 1855 when the rail line was extended (to Media) through Wallingford, passing and freight sidings were built at the location. The present station was built in 1890(although some sources claim it was built in 1880) [ [http://www.west2k.com/pastations/delawarepa.htm Existing Railroad Stations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania] ] and designed by architect Frank Furness. For a time, this station also served as Wallingord's post office. [Tricentennial Commission. A History of Nether Providence Township. 1987. ]

Sales Hours: Mon-Fri 5:30a.m.-12:15p.m. Parking is available on both sides of Possum Hollow Road including the southeast corner of Possum Hollow and Kershaw Roads.
