Until September 1986, West Chester was served by SEPTA's [[Media/Wawa Line]] commuter rail line, then known as the Media/West Chester Line. Service on the line was discontinued because of poor track conditions west of [[Elwyn (SEPTA station)|Elwyn]] station. At the time, SEPTA had limited funds for the necessary repairs and offered Chester County the option of either improving the rail line or expanding parking availability at the nearby [[Exton station (Pennsylvania)|Exton station]] on SEPTA's [[Paoli/Thorndale Line]]. The county opted for the latter, and service on the line was cut back to [[Elwyn, Pennsylvania|Elwyn]] (service was re-extended to [[Wawa Station]] in August 2022). The rail line into West Chester is used by the [[West Chester Railroad]], a [[heritage railroad]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wcrailroad.com/|title=West Chester Railroad|access-date=December 5, 2022}}</ref>
