Wanamaker, PA train station, 2008

Wanamaker is small community in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

Philip Wanamaker settled at the location about 1791.[1] His son, Christian, later operated a grist mill. The railway station of the Berks County Railroad, later the Schuylkill and Lehigh Branch of the Reading Company, was opened in 1874. Regular passenger service ceased in 1949. Today the Wanamaker station is the end station for the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern, a local scenic railroad.
