## Background

In [FY](/source/Fiscal_year) 2017, the Link Belt station had a weekday average of 23 boardings and 20 alightings, making it the least used station in the SEPTA Regional Rail system.[2]

The Link Belt station was created by the [Reading Railroad](/source/Reading_Railroad) to service the [Link-Belt](/source/Link-Belt_Construction_Equipment_Company) Company plant built across East Walnut Street from the rail line in 1952, opening formally on December 2.[1] Link-Belt stopped operations in Colmar in 1983 and the former plant is now the headquarters of [Dorman Products](/source/Dorman_Products).

On December 18, 2011, weekend service was discontinued at this station due to low ridership.
