, so after considering different options, like parking on the SEPTA Trenton line and taking it in, I decided to drive to Woodcrest on the PATCO line, and with more options, took it in and walked to 30th street station. It worked very nicely. Thinking I will do it again.... 
If you wanted to, you would only need to walk to Suburban or whatever they are calling Market East now and take a SEPTA regional rail to 30th street at no charge, since you have an Amtrak ticketLast year, I wanted to get there early, but not Train 67 early
That would be my rainy day option....after the long drive down from Queens, and ride on PATCO, and before the all-day excursion, I would welcome the brisk walk from the end of the PATCO line over to 30th Street....If you wanted to, you would only need to walk to Suburban or whatever they are calling Market East now and take a SEPTA regional rail to 30th street at no charge, since you have an Amtrak ticketLast year, I wanted to get there early, but not Train 67 early
Correct
Afigg,
$129 is a lot but I don't have much going on in November
The "High Line" is a elevated railroad viaduct that runs north-south just west of 30th Street Station. It extends for about three miles from ZOO interlocking on the north end (where the Amtrak lines to New York, Harrisburg and Washington converge) to Arsenal interlocking on the south end (just south of the University of Pennsylvania). It was originally constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a bypass to permit freight trains to avoid passenger congestion in the 30th Street area. It is now owned by CSX.
