The Pottsville station, also known as Union Station Intermodal Transit Center, is a transit station in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Located next to the original Reading Railroad station, it currently houses bus service, SEDCO, the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce and occasional train service by the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad.^[3]

The original station was originally built by the Reading Railroad, and later served the SEPTA diesel service line extending from the Norristown section of the Manayunk/Norristown Line. It shut down in 1981, when SEPTA cancelled the diesel service. The city built the building to serve the Schuylkill Transportation System and the visitors bureau, as well as occasional train service.^[3] In 2013, the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad began hosting further recreational train trips to the Reading Outer StationinReading, Pennsylvania.^[4]
