subst'ing the ""northeast corridor" template[edit]

No need to do so. Leaving it as {{tl:northeast corridor}} gives the same rendered page, and this WP:Transclusion gives a cleaner-looking source. DMacks 17:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

movies[edit]

It would be nice if someone could add a list of all the movies that have used this as one of the locations. It is a very historic building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.249.195.53 (talk) 16:47, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know German?[edit]

I just realized that the German Wikipedia has a featured article for 30th Street Station. Take a look—the article is significantly longer, with detailed illustrations, a historical context, and extensive references. The German article even elaborates on the station's architecture and location and the site's 19th-century history. Perhaps we can incorporate portions of the German article into this one. --Apollo1758 (talk) 02:18, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The German version also integrates the 30th Street (SEPTA station) into the article, apparently. I don't speak or write in German myself, but this fact is kind of hard to ignore. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:13, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on 30th Street Station. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.septa.org/reports/pdf/asp12.pdf
Attempted to fix sourcing for http://prrths.com/Downloads/Philly's~Subways~Railways~and~Stations1.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Evil Eye Charms[edit]

The last time I was at the 30th street station on my way to NYC, I noticed there were giant tear drop shaped evil eye charms hanging in the rafters where you get on the train. I was wondering if anyone has photos or information on these? 73.112.14.162 (talk) 04:04, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Station Layout?[edit]

Can somebody add a station layout for the upper and lower levels of the station, it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Can someone also explain how trains running from Harrisburg and west to New York turn around at the station? I've always wondered this since I've never ridden through 30th Street going in this direction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.145.130 (talk) 02:26, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
