Highland station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Located at 8412 Seminole Avenue at Highland Avenue in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, it serves the Chestnut Hill West Line. The Pennsylvania Railroad initiated service on June 11, 1884.
The station is in zone 2 on the Chestnut Hill West Line, on former Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, and is 10.7 track miles from Suburban Station. In 2004, this station saw 32 boardings on an average weekday. More recently, usage appears to have doubled, but there is still considerable unused free parking in the Philadelphia Parking Authority lot (outbound side) and on the adjacent streets. The only shelter is a small Plexiglas hut on the inbound side.
