SEPTA - Philadelphia - 30th Street Station

[@peterkoster9390]

I was literally waiting on track 5 for the 2:00 🕑 train with my family yesterday. Omg 😯 I didn’t know you were filming

I took a quick trip to Wayne Junction around that time. Video to follow.

The station design looks a lot like its Newark Penn ‘cousin’.

[@TransitLover_17]

It sure does

30th Street Station in Philadelphia actually was called Penn Station at one point. Nowadays it is known as William H Gray 30th Street Station.

The "cute" part is that some SEPTA lines are accessible from both the upper AND lower platforms (Wilmington and Paoli/Thorndale are the most obvious) - the first because it overlays the NEC, the second because it also is used by AMTRAK. Does any AMTRAK or NJT line use the upper platform? (I am asking because the only AMTRAK train I ever took to Paoli was the since-killed National Limited - but I did NOT get off the train at 30th - because it was needless - the train came in to the LOWER platform.)

Bet you didnt know that the Regional Rail part of the station was completed even before construction started on the train station. You couldnt really do this anymore now because of the fare gates on the platforms.

Are you using a wide angle lense? Nice video btw.

[@LINYTrains]

I have a fixed zoom lense that becomes a wide angle lense when zoomed out completely.
