Newport Railroad Station was a historic railway station located at Newport in New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1908 and was a 44 feet, 4 inches, long, one-story frame building in the Bungalow / American Craftsman style. It had a large overhanging hipped roof with exposed rafter ends. It was built by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad and closed in the late 1940s.[2] It was demolished between 1995 and 2002.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] A transportation study considered the location for a new commuter rail station along SEPTA Regional Rail's Wilmington/Newark Line during the mid-1990s.[3]
