**Perkasie** is a defunct [train station](/source/Train_station) formerly operated by [SEPTA Regional Rail](/source/SEPTA_Regional_Rail) in [Perkasie](/source/Perkasie%2C_Pennsylvania), [Pennsylvania](/source/Pennsylvania), USA.[2] It closed on July 29, 1981, after [SEPTA](/source/SEPTA) cancelled its diesel train routes.[3]

The station was formerly operated by the [Reading Company](/source/Reading_Company) and later by [Conrail](/source/Conrail) and SEPTA. [East Penn Railroad](/source/East_Penn_Railroad) operates freight trains on the line between [Lansdale](/source/Lansdale%2C_Pennsylvania), and beyond. However, active track ends just north of [Quakertown](/source/Quakertown%2C_Pennsylvania).

The [Perkasie Tunnel](/source/Perkasie_Tunnel) is located near the station.[4]

The station was formerly equipped with a [water tower](/source/Water_tower), of which not a trace remains.[5]

[Lehigh Valley Transit](/source/Lehigh_Valley_Transit) interurbans used a separate station at Walnut and Penn, several blocks to the south and east.[6]

The SEPTA board made the cuts because four of the counties served by the two lines Lehigh, Northampton. Schuylkill and Berks have refused to help subsidize them. As of April 1. unless the counties offer to help SEPTA financially, service will stop on the Quakertown-Bethlehem line to Centre Valley, Hellertown and Bethlehem.
