  ## History
  
  The Germantown railway station has existed since at least 1884 when it could be found in the same place it is today on the Chestnut Hill East line. It was on SEPTA's R7 line until the regional-rail renaming.
  
  On May 28, 2009, SEPTA approved a $1.9 million rehabilitation effort which included the Germantown station.
  
  In 2013, this station saw 102 boardings and 140 alightings on an average weekday.
