Description "The Trains That Come, the Trains That Go" (Broad Street Station, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), etching and drypoint by Joseph Pennell (1919).
In Elegy in a Railroad Station (1952), written at the time of Broad Street Station's demolition, essayist Christopher Morley described this etching as "the perfect record of Broad Street's lights and tones that linger in the eye—the hurling network of girders, the pattering of passengers, the upward eddies of smoke."
