Link Belt station is a station along the SEPTA Lansdale/Doylestown Line. It is located at County Line Road & Walnut Street in Chalfont, Pennsylvania. It is located on the Montgomery County side of County Line Road, north of Pennsylvania Route 309, and sits next to the popular "Whistle Stop Park." In FY 2017, Link Belt station had a weekday average of 23 boardings and 20 alightings, making it the least used station in the SEPTA Regional Rail system.[2]
The Link Belt station was created by the Reading Railroad to service the Link-Belt Company plant built across West Walnut Street from the rail line in 1952, opening formally on December 2.[1] Link-Belt stopped operations in Colmar in 1983 and the former plant is now the headquarters of Dorman Products.
On December 18, 2011, weekend service was discontinued at this station due to low ridership.
