So, yesterday I had to catch a train at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station, with which I am decidedly unfamiliar.

It’s one of those stations that has the big ticket hall located above the tracks and the platforms below. Like most large U.S. stations it operates as a closed platform station, meaning only ticketed passengers are allowed on the platforms.
