Lahaska was a station on the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. The station is currently on the line used by the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad. The station is located in the 19838 zip code.[2] The station is one of two used by the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad for return trips back to Warminster.[3] Services ended in 1953 when the line after Warminster was shut down. After passenger service was discontinued, the station building was purchased by a local land owner who moved it to his property about a quarter mile away from its original location and converted it into a private residence.[4]
