Summary[edit]

Description
English: Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Passenger Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States as seen form the northeast (completed 1888, demolished 1963).
The main entrance is marked by the porch, the tracks and platforms are behind the building and pass under the roadway at right angles about where the two cars are parked on the very right. The photo was taken about one year after the B&O had discontinued all passenger service north of Baltimore; the illuminated letters on the tower spelling “B&O” have already been removed.
Deutsch: Die Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Passenger Station in Philadelphia im US-Bundesstaat Pennsylvania von Nordosten aus gesehen.
Die Überdachung markiert den Haupteingang, die Bahnsteige und Gleise liegen hinterhalb des Gebäudes; sie unterqueren die Straße in rechtem Winkel in Höhe der beiden Autos ganz rechts im Bild. Das Foto entstand rund ein Jahr nach Einstellung des Personenverkehrs auf der Relation Baltimore–Jersey City; infolgedessen ist von der einstigen Leuchtreklame auf dem Turm nur noch das Gestänge übrig.
