Glen Mills is a train station located at 130 Glen Mills Road in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester line. It is currently used by the Thornbury Historical Society.
SEPTA discontinued regular passenger service in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilties at Exton Station on SEPTA's R5 Paoli/Downingtown line. Service was restored by the West Chester Railroad in 2000, a privately owned and operated heritage railway that operates between Glen Mills and West Chester on weekends.
Built in 1882, Glen Mills Station is considered an architectural gem, and is believed to have been designed by Frank Furness.<ref>waymarking.com
