Exton, Pennsylvania was not opened until the 1980s. The first actual station building is nearing completion.

Access to the platform is from the public concourse within the terminals and by crossing the arrival roadway from the terminal buildings, but there is no separate building.

North Station never closed.Anderson/Woburn was built on a former superfund industrial site and was aimed to replace nearby Mishawum, which remains a stop (for commuter rail). So Anerson/Woburn is technically a new station location that previously did not have service before. Kind of like a "Route 128 North".

That link doesn't have a photo of the actual station, so here's one of mine from 1970 that shows most of it. It was located in the middle of nowhere as compared with the former and current stations in downtown Schenectady.
