**Norwood station** is a [SEPTA](/source/SEPTA) train station on the [Wilmington/Newark Line](/source/Wilmington%2FNewark_Line). While on tracks owned by the company, [Amtrak](/source/Amtrak) trains do not stop here, as it is served only by SEPTA. The line offers southbound service to [Marcus Hook](/source/Marcus_Hook%2C_Pennsylvania), [Wilmington](/source/Wilmington%2C_Delaware) and [Newark, Delaware](/source/Newark%2C_Delaware) and northbound service to [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia) and points beyond (most commonly [Norristown](/source/Norristown%2C_Pennsylvania)[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]). The station, located at Winona & Welcome Avenues in [Norwood, Pennsylvania](/source/Norwood%2C_Pennsylvania), includes a 62-space parking lot on its outbound platform side (along Harrison Avenue). Pedestrian walkways and staircases connect the inbound and outbound platforms via the Amosland Road Bridge, which overpasses the tracks. Opposite the tracks from the SEPTA designated parking lot is metered street and lot parking.

The station opened on September 1, 1875, as part of the [Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad](/source/Philadelphia%2C_Wilmington_and_Baltimore_Railroad). The depot lasted until May 11, 1950, when a fire burned the structure. The depot was razed on September 25, 1951, over a year later.

## Station layout

The station's inbound platform and ticket office is located next to the Norwood Public Library, a branch of the Delaware County Library System.[7] Norwood has two low-level [side platforms](/source/Side_platform) with walkways connecting passengers to the inner tracks. [Amtrak](/source/Amtrak)'s [Northeast Corridor](/source/Northeast_Corridor) lines bypass the station via the inner tracks.
