Spring Mill station is a suburban commuter railroad station on the
SEPTA Manayunk/Norristown Line in
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Its official address is Station Avenue near Hector Street,
Conshohocken (ZIP code 19428), but it is actually in the
Spring Mill section of
Whitemarsh Township. The station is located south of Hector Street, where North Lane deadends at the
Schuylkill River.
The original station was established by the
Reading Railroad about 1880, and took its name from the nearby
18th-century grist mill.
In
FY 2013, Spring Mill station had a weekday average of 378 boardings and 358 alightings. It has a 154-space parking lot, and is handicapped-accessible. The
Schuylkill River Trail passes next to the station.
Due to the proximity of the Schuylkill River and a pair of tributary streams, the station is periodically subjected to
flooding, resulting in the temporary suspension of all service on the Manayunk/Norristown Line.
A project to replace the line's signal system is underway in 2013 that is intended to confine future flooding closures on the line to the section above
Miquon station, by allowing partial service further down the line instead of no service on the line at all.
