30th Street Station: The Pulse of Philadelphia's Travel

The Pennsylvania Railroad's 30th Street Station is situated on the west bank of the Schuylkill River near downtown Philadelphia.
Opened during the early 1930s the facility was one of the last great passenger terminals ever built during the PRR's efforts to modernize and infrastructure and replace Broad Street Station, a stub-end design which had become operationally inadequate.
Thankfully, it has stood the test of time and today continues serves in its original capacity hosting both commuter and intercity trains of Amtrak and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA).
As of 2018 more than 4 million passengers used the terminal, making it Amtrak's third busiest such terminal. In some respects 30th Street slightly resembles New York's iconic Pennsylvania Station although not nearly as large or ornate.
