Trains reversing at terminal stations

[MARC Rider]

They should probably just rename it "City Hall Station". And rename the Trolley station and the Market-Frankford Line stations "City Hall Station" too. The Broad Street Line has the right station name...

When I was a kid riding the Pennsy and Penn Central, the conductors would call it "Penn Center Suburban Station." But all the signage just called it "Suburban Station."

Apparently there was a period when they tried to change the name to "Penn Center Station", but no one played along so they gave up.

And at Denver the fueling point is at the far end from the bumper blocks, and the platform is short enough that if they didn't back in, some of the cars would be off the main platform onto the service platform. So, they have to back in. Plus, they have to either reverse on the way in or on the way out, so it goes into passenger time either way; whether to do it on the Denver-Salt Lake segment or the Denver-Chicago segment is six of one and half a dozen of the other.

In Denver, Diesels have to stay out from under the trainshed. And fueling out there also keeps that operation away from the public.
