Jenkintown-Wyncote Station was originally built in 1872 by the North Pennsylvania Railroad,[2] and replaced in 1932 by the Reading Railroad. The 1932-built structure remains to this day,[3] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It currently lies in fare zone three and includes a parking lot with 450 spaces.[4] The West Trenton line branches off of the SEPTA Main Line at this station.

This station is served by the Warminster Line, West Trenton Line, and Lansdale/Doylestown Line.[5] These three rail lines make Jenkintown-Wyncote the sixth-busiest station in SEPTA's Regional Rail system, and the busiest outside of the City of Philadelphia, with 1998 average weekday boardings and 1660 average weekday alightings.[6]
