Though little more than a pair of platforms with open shelters and a trailer, it serves as a replacement for a former [[Reading Railroad]] station<ref>[http://www.west2k.com/papix/eastfallsrdg.jpg Images of former East Falls Reading Railroad station from 1912 and 1978]</ref> which was opened in 1912, and burnt down approximately in 1982.<ref>[http://www.west2k.com/pastations/philadelphia.shtml Existing Railroad Stations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]</ref> It contains a staircase leading to Cresson Street and the station on the north side of the viaduct over Midvale Avenue, and a pedestrian crosswalk with a traffic signal exclusively for that crosswalk on the south side.
