Williamson School is an abandoned train station located on Second Street Pike (PA-232) near Knowles Avenue in Upper Southampton, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester.
The station, and all of those west of Elwyn, was closed in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilties at Exton Station on SEPTA's R5 Paoli/Downingtown line.
Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided. Williamson School station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.
