Reeder is a defunct station on the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. The station is currently on the line used by the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad. This station was a flag stop located on Reeder Road at milepost 35, and was named after Pennsylvania's first food and dairy commissioner, Eastburn Reeder, a native of Solebury Township.[2]
