History edit

 
Overbrook station in 1984

The current station building was constructed around 1860 on the inbound (eastbound) side. The station, platforms, and canopies were restored from 1999 to 2003 in a $9.1 million project. A smaller shelter serves westbound passengers.

Amtrak served Overbrook with some westbound Keystone Service trips until 1987.[4]

In 2009, the station was the site of a fire involving a Budd Silverliner II electric multiple unit catching fire due to a faulty heater. [5]
