'''Lamokin Street''' is a former [[regional rail]] station that was located on the [[SEPTA Regional Rail]] [[Wilmington/Newark Line]] at Lamokin Street in [[Chester, Pennsylvania]]. Until 1972, it was the junction for the [[Chester Creek Branch]], controlled by nearby [[Lamokin Tower]]. The [[branch line]] was operated by the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] and later [[Penn Central]], until service ended in 1972 due to damage caused by [[Hurricane Agnes]].

==History and notable features== The station was classified as a [[flag stop]], which required passengers to tell the train crew that they wanted to board or depart prior to arrival. It was closed on July 1, 2003 due to its low ridership of just 36 passengers per day.<ref name=dvarp>{{cite magazine |url=http://dvarp.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dvrp0307.pdf |title=On the Railroad Lines |magazine=The Delaware Valley Rail Passenger |date=July 2003 |publisher=Delaware Valley Association of Rail Passengers |accessdate=16 January 2016 |volume=21 |issue=6–7 }}{{Dead link|date=September 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name=wissinoming >{{cite news |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20031129034608/http://www.northeasttimes.com/2003/0717/train.html |archivedate=29 November 2003 |url=http://www.northeasttimes.com/2003/0717/train.html |title=Missing the train |last=Kenney |first=William |date=17 July 2003}}</ref>

The former site is adjacent to an [[electrical substation]] that provides power to both [[Amtrak]]'s [[Northeast Corridor]] and SEPTA's [[Media/Wawa Line|Media/Wawa]] lines. [[Highland Avenue station (SEPTA)|Highland Avenue]] and [[Chester Transit Center]] stations nearby are still served by SEPTA.
