North Broad is a SEPTA Regional Rail station located at 2601 North Broad Street south of Lehigh Avenue along the SEPTA Main Line. Unlike most stations, such as Wayne Junction, only the R5 and R6 lines serve this station, while most trains pass by the station. The station had low-level platforms on the outside tracks. The historic station building on Broad Street is now in use by a different occupant and is sealed off from the platforms, although the name on the building remains.
