Trolleys arriving at this station travel between 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania and Orange Street in Media, Pennsylvania. The station has a shed with a roof where people can go inside when it is raining. The shelter is the standard P&W "Red Arrow" stone shelter, similar to that of the Providence Road stop in Media, and the Woodland Avenue stop in Springfield.[1] Free parking is not available at this stop, and all parking lots within the vicinity are the property of local businesses, including that of a local branch of the U.S. Post Office.

The Aronimink station is located in the same intersection as the former location of the Waverly Theatre[2] in downtown Drexel Hill. The movie theater, hence the trolley stop, is a long-standing hub of the town, celebrated for its $1 movies through the mid-1980's, and is now the home of Hanrahan's Irish Pub.[3]
