The Pennsylvania Railroad station at St. Davids was built by the suggestion of Drexel and Childs, who wanted to promote their new development. They persuaded the railroad to build a station at “East Wayne,” which was later renamed St. Davids, after the historic nearby church. The station building was constructed shortly afterwards, after a smaller one story building was taken down. The newer building had two floors and resembled other station buildings on the Main Line, namely Rosemont. The second building was razed sometime after 1963 when it fell into disrepair. In 2001, only the waiting shed on the westbound side remained of the original St. Davids station. A square gray building is now in the place of the original building.
