**Marcus Hook station** (formerly known as Linwood) is a station along the SEPTA [Wilmington/Newark Line](/source/Wilmington%2FNewark_Line) and Amtrak's [Northeast Corridor](/source/Northeast_Corridor) in [Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania](/source/Marcus_Hook%2C_Pennsylvania). Amtrak does not stop here; the station is only served by SEPTA. Many locals continue on to Wilmington and Newark. However, some trains terminate at this station. Located at 12th & Washington Streets, the station has a 147-space parking lot. The line offers southbound service to [Wilmington](/source/Wilmington%2C_Delaware) and [Newark, Delaware](/source/Newark%2C_Delaware) and northbound service to [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania).

Marcus Hook station was originally built by the [Pennsylvania Railroad](/source/Pennsylvania_Railroad) in 1875, replaced in 1893. That station depot was razed in February 1963. Two other [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/source/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad) stations also used to exist in the Borough.[8]
