On my last trip through 30th Street (February 2006), the new Cira Centre office tower had just opened on air rights over the north end of the depot. The indoor parking garage adjacent to the building provides excellent overhead views of the coach yard, locomotive servicing facility and the approaches to the north and west.
While waiting for my train to Newark Airport, I went up to the top level of the garage and was able to photograph a Boston-bound Acela Express with the Philadelphia Art Museum in the background, and also a light engine move on the former PRR "High Line" freight line with two CSX and two UP units.
