If you're thinking that Columbia Station looks like a train station, that's because it once was. Columbia Station is located on the site of the former Phoenixville Station of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, which was founded in 1833 to haul coal from Reading to Philadelphia.

Today, Columbia Station is fully renovated and, although the train tracks are gone, it still has a completely restored life-size caboose that sits next to the garden out front.
