You can see down the stairs in some spots to the lower platform.

Do they ever use the lower station for revenue service? I've only ever seen it used for material and train storage.

Super rarely. They used it in 2010 for some Eagles game. They may have done the same for some playoff games.

I have used it several times after I believe Phillies game maybe a sixers game once. Not sure what determines when they are used.

I've only ever used it once. I was after a Flyers playoff game, so while I can't remember, I assume Phillies game might have been at the same time and they had incoming while we were loading.

They used it for the world series parade in ‘08. Let’s hope we do that again!
