Birdsboro station was a railroad station in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. The station was originally built by the Reading Railroad, and later served the SEPTA diesel service until SEPTA cancelled the line in 1981

According to some sources, the Colebrookdale Railroad Trust, a preservation society received a grant from Harrisburg to relocate the train station building to Colebrookdale.[2] The newly relocated train station will be part of a revitalized 40 mile of the Colebrookdale Line between Pottstown, Pennsylvania and Boyertown, Pennsylvania as a heritage railway geared towards tourists.[3]
