Philadelphia 30th St. Station
>On the Northeast Corridor
>Beautiful station building
>No major modifications (unlike New York and Washington)
>Serves local commuter lines (SEPTA Regional Rail and NJT Atlantic City Line)
>Decent food court built within the existing building.

An American classic.

Meanwhile, Suburban is probably among one of America's worst.
Place is a glorified homeless shelter.
Still, 30th has one big weakness: no direct connecting passageway to the MFL or Subway-Surface lines.

The Hoboken Lackawanna station is nice and they recently rebuilt the clock tower that came down in the 50s. There’s the Hudson Bergen light rail outside and ferries to Manhattan.

The station in Denver beats the crap out of all the other stations ITT. Perfect blend of old and new.

IIRC there used to be a passageway from the southwest corner to the MFL but they closed it off. Maybe homeless overrun? I can't remember why. Maybe if they put fare gates at the entrance of a tunnel it wouldn't be an issue.

Boston South Station is in desperate need of a platform rebuild and concourse restoration. I love it, but compared to stations like GCT, PHL, WAS, SPG, hell, even NHV and WOR, it deserves better

They did just get rid of the based old fashioned flip board "clack clack" sign, but otherwise yeah it's pretty cool.

Very small ridership. Local boy scout troops take the Amtrak to go hiking in New Mexico.
