Yes, it is the southern terminus of the tourist railroad Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern. This was a Reading route. https://maps.app.goo.gl/AHcuyd2z5A4FSfzG8

Kempton Train Station in Kempton, PA.
This train station was built in 1888. And was originally from another location. Was brought to Kempton in 1963.

Rick Moleski: Still standing?

While looking for a view with better lighting, I discovered that a lot of trees have been cut down. All of the trees on the left are now gone.

It was a CNJ depot. It is the only railroad that still exists, and NS has it. The topo map is 1960 Palmerton Quad @ 24,000. The location is https://maps.app.goo.gl/UXhitqc3cJhuATaW6.

Craig Richardson posted four photos with the comment: "Southampton Pa. the line is now a trail. This last saw passengers in the early 80’s. Would love to see this restored."

[Some of the comments explain that the restoration has failed so far because of bad leadership.]

This image originally posted is reversed. This is how it should look. The view is looking south toward the Delaware River. The Baltimore and Ohio train is northbound/eastbound toward Jersey City. Trent tower is on the west side of the tracks, and the station is on the east side of the tracks. Railroad Ave is on the right side of the flipped image behind Trent tower. The branch trackage that heads toward Trenton is on the left, opposite Trent tower.

I noticed that this station is at the end of the line. That explains the wye and small railyard just north of the depot.

Confirmation that it is at the end of line.

Craig Richardson posted three photos with the comment: "Looks like a recent paint job on the lower 8’ of the building. Long out of use depot in Valley Forge National Park."

[According to the photo above, they painted more than the lower 8'.]

Jim Kelling: Reading Company station; can’t remember its original name.

Patrick Linebaugh: Jim Kelling This is the Port Kennedy Station at the far end of the park. The official Valley Forge Reading Railroad Station is located at the other end ... very close to Washington's Valley Forge encampment Headquarters.

Chuck Noonan: They really cleaned up the area by the station before Big Boy came through this summer [2026].

I cropped the top photo differently so that we can see how much chainsaw work they did for the Big Boy visit.
