Recently officially renamed the "William H. Gray III 30th Street Station" (but no one calls it that), Philadelphia's main rail station is a neoclassical gem. Located just across the river from Center City in West Philadelphia, it serves Amtrak, SEPTA, and a few NJ Transit trains. The modernist glass Cira Center office complex next door is a striking contrast.Captured with a Hasselblad (Zeiss) T* CFE FLE 40mm/4 lens (@ f/8) lens, Pentax 645z camera (@ ISO 100).

@mattblaze The monument to PRR men who died in the two World Wars, inside, has to be seen to be believed. Photos don't do it justice.There's also that fascinating relief of "the progress of Transportation" just off the main hall.

@publius @mattblaze I love Philly and its grand old architecture. Is it Suburban station that has the gorgeous art deco? You guys really knew how to do monumental builds. I spent a few months not far from Media about 15 years ago. Iām looking forward to returning one day to explore more deeply when the US admin has returned to the realm of reasonable.
