It is also a major stop on Amtrak s Northeast and Keystone Corridors. At the end of fiscal year 2010, a total of 3,787,331 Amtrak passengers used 30th Street, making it the 3rd busiest Amtrak station in the system. The Chicago based architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White designed the structure, originally known as Pennsylvania Stationa 30th Street as with other Pennsylvania Stations . The station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its design was influenced by the Northeast Corridor electrification. This allowed the tracks to pass beneath the main body of the station without exposing the passengers to soot as steam engines of earlier times had. The station itself also included a number of innovative features, including a pneumatic tube system, an electronic intercom, and a reinforced roof with space to allow the landing of small aircraft. The station was opened in 1933, shortly after the peak of expansion by the former Pennsylvania Railroad PRR , which was headquartered in Philadelphia.24646122 N00 has added USA Philadelphia at 2010 11 03 14 11 42 and tagged as philadelphia archite
