        Phila Airport offers a 1-seat rail ride between all terminals and 5 Center City stations. Not so in NYC.

        Tearing down Penn Station happened a long time ago. And everyone now agrees it was a big mistake.

        30th St is one of my favorite old rail halls. Gorgeous. Chicago is starting a similarly “respectful” revamp of Union Station.

        Penn Station replaced original, classic station with--I don't know what. I grew up 4 blocks away-forever pitiful.

        why are you comparing 30th St to Penn Station instead of Grand Central?

        Because Penn and 30th are both Amtrak stations and Grand Central isn't.

        Yes, and NY-Penn Sta. was even more dramatic before car subsidies led to its destruction.
