Do all trains stop at philly 30th?

[@3985uprr]

Yes.

[@jimpern]

Is this viewing area open to the public? If so, how does one access it?

[@3985uprr]

It’s a parking lot on the north side of 30th St. station to the left of the main terminal building east entrance. You can stand there and get a great view of trains coming in.

Have you ever film you riding the Atlantic City ride?

[@loocpoc]

I figured you came down for the battle of Philly at Shibe Park

[@3985uprr]

Not quite old enough for that. Phillies vs A’s

[@loocpoc]

@@3985uprr it's the Phillies vs A's this weekend. I'm going to Saturday's game wearing my Philadelphia A's hat and a Phillies sweatshirt. Will be up your way this weekend at the house that Jeter built to see the Yankees vs Red Sox

@@loocpoc , I would have loved to watch the Phillies play at Shibe Park back in the 1960`s when Dick Allen was launching moon shots over the roof in left field!

@@loocpoc I am going to game on 4/13 against Mets. I’m looking forward to seeing that great Phillies offense

[@brucepadley2396]

Pat's or Geno"s?

[@thiscorrosion900]

I haven't been to Philly in years, but I've been told that one of the finest cheesesteak places is Dallesandros which is somewhere up in NW Philly or so. Pat's and Genos are allegedly overhyped and the quality isn't great these days.
