Cynwyd station is aSEPTA Regional Rail station inBala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Located at Conshohocken State Road (PA 23) and Bala Avenue, it is the last station along theCynwyd Line. The station includes a 41-space parking lot.

Service formerly continued farther northwest, crossing theSchuylkill River via the massiveManayunk Bridge, and ultimately terminating atIvy Ridge station. This service ended in September 1986 when the integrity of the Manayunk Bridge was questioned. The massive span was shedding pieces of concrete due tospalling.[4] Further investigation by Urban Engineers determined that the bridge was safe and only needed surface work to end the spalling.[4] In 1999, construction finished on a project to stabilize and refurbish the bridge, but train service did not resume as expected.[4]

SEPTA received criticism for refusing to reinstate service north of Cynwyd after the Manayunk Bridge was deemed safe. Plans to re-extend service floated around for approximately a decade until 2008 when SEPTA dismantled the line north of Cynwyd after leasing the line for theCynwyd Heritage Trail[5] and Ivy Ridge Trail, respectively.[6]
