30th Street Station, Railway station in University City, Philadelphia, United States.
The neoclassical 30th Street Station contains a large waiting room with travertine walls and a coffered ceiling painted in gold, red, and cream tones.
Construction of the station began in 1927 when the Pennsylvania Railroad obtained tunnel rights from the Schuylkill River to replace the Broad Street Station.
The Pennsylvania Railroad War Memorial stands in the station, displaying a bronze statue that recognizes railroad employees who served during World War II.
The station serves over 100,000 passengers daily through Amtrak, SEPTA Regional Rail, and NJ Transit services, with connections to multiple bus routes.
A 28-story office building, the Cira Centre, connects to the station through a glass-enclosed skyway, adding modern elements to this 1933 structure.
