**Miquon station** is a suburban commuter railroad station on the [SEPTA](/source/SEPTA) [Manayunk/Norristown Line](/source/Manayunk%2FNorristown_Line), located at River and Manor Roads in the [Miquon](/source/Miquon%2C_Pennsylvania) section of [Whitemarsh Township](/source/Whitemarsh_Township%2C_Pennsylvania), [Montgomery County, Pennsylvania](/source/Montgomery_County%2C_Pennsylvania), [United States](/source/United_States). It is the first station on the line outside [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia).

In [FY](/source/Fiscal_year) 2013, Miquon station had a weekday average of 483 boardings and 452 alightings.[3]

The station is adjacent to a large office park (River Park I and II), which was redeveloped from a former paper mill in 1999.[4][5] As of April 2013, parking includes about 60 spaces adjacent to the tracks along River Road, and 170 spaces in the River Park II lot; the latter lot has been shrinking in size due to the expansion of a private school ([AIM Academy](/source/AIM_Academy)) which leased most of the River Park II complex beginning in 2011.[6]

The station building on the outbound side is leased to an outside party and does not currently sell tickets. There is a shelter on the inbound side; connecting the two platforms is an official pedestrian [crossing](/source/Level_crossing).

Miquon is expected to become a temporary turnback point for trains at times when the line is [flooded](/source/Flood) by the [Schuylkill River](/source/Schuylkill_River) around [Spring Mill](/source/Spring_Mill%2C_Pennsylvania) and [Conshohocken](/source/Conshohocken%2C_Pennsylvania). A new [remotely controlled](/source/Centralized_traffic_control) [interlocking](/source/Interlocking) has been built near the station for this purpose, as part of a project to install a modern [cab signal system](/source/Pulse_code_cab_signaling) on the line.[7]
