Posted by chuchubob on Fri Jul 22 08:34:52 2011 Philadelphia   While I walked through 30th Street Station to the parking garage to get the photos, the info signs stated that the delayed train 56 Vermonter was boarding. The next train out had eleven cars, but Amtrak's online status page doesn't give a departure time, stating "service disruption" instead.   Washington train 30 Capitol Limited arriving from Chicago   SW1500 540, built in 1973 as Penn Central 9563, shoving MARC coaches from Ivy City to WAS  train 91 Silver Star with a non-revenue Viewliner on the rear with a marker (FRED)    Northeast Regional train 125  light engine move to Ivy City   train 92 Silver Star  Northeast Regional train 171

I sure wish that they would knock it down and build a square building that the kids cannot climb on.We had a drill hall like that in the Navy, but nobody would dare write on it lest the Marines use them for target practice. roar |

First of all it's not the DC Armory, that's over by RFK. The building in Bob's photos is the former Washington Coliseum, among other things, one of its first events was a pro-American rally weeks before Pearl Harbor, and it is site of the first Beatle's concert in the US. The building has been badly abused in the intervening years, but today it's about the only large hall in DC adjacent to mass transit. With a renovation it could make an excellent concert facility, something with which it already has an impressive history. |
