For generations, Paoli was the western terminus of [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] commuter trains coming from [[Philadelphia]] on the [[Main Line (Pennsylvania Railroad)|Main Line]]. The "Paoli Local" became iconic in the western suburbs. [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[Keystone Service]]'' and ''[[Pennsylvanian (train)|Pennsylvanian]]'' trains stop at [[Paoli station]], but with the decline of long-distance train travel, the stops are now less frequent.

Commuters traveling by rail within Southeastern Pennsylvania use the Paoli station, although most local trains serving Paoli now terminate in Malvern, one stop to the west. [[SEPTA Regional Rail]]'s [[Paoli/Thorndale Line]] (formerly R5) commuter rail runs between [[Thorndale, Pennsylvania|Thorndale]] and Philadelphia both ways every 30 minutes during the week. College students and city-working suburbanites take the Paoli/Thorndale Line to school and work. Station-to-station, a trip from Paoli to Center City Philadelphia on the Paoli/Thorndale Line takes approximately 45 minutes, although some rush hour trains run directly between Paoli and [[30th Street Station]] in under 30 minutes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.septa.org/schedules/rail/w/PAO_1.html|title=Paoli/Thorndale Line Regional Rail Schedule|website=SEPTA |access-date=14 March 2019}}</ref>
