Amtrak services along the Northeast Corridor bypass Sharon Hill station. Sharon Hill station has two low-level side platforms around the four tracks.
Sharon Hill station opened on November 18, 1872 with the opening of the Darby Improvement of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, realigning service to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station depot at Sharon Hill was closed in 1983 and left for abandonment. By 1991, the roof had collapsed on the station and a demolition order had been issued. After managing to prevent demolition, a local historical society helped raised money to get a new roof on the depot and repair the station, which occurred in 1993 and 1994.
