- While the Northeast timetable shows the Broadway Limited as bypassing
- 30th Street, the National minus Northeast schedule shows it arriving
- at 30th Street at 4:24PM and leaving at 4:47PM. It is marked as
- stopping to receive passengers only, and although the schedule isn't
- marked that way I'm pretty sure it won't carry passengers from 30th
- Street to Paoli, and I can well believe that it won't carry them to
- Harrisburg either. Neither schedule shows it stopping at North
- Philadelphia, but it may anyhow. The only time I rode it I boarded at
- Paoli (western suburb of Philly, end of the Main Line), so I can't
- speak from personal experience, though.
