East Penn Traction Club Meet Attendees,

First, our condolences go out to the AMTRAK crash victims and their families.

In case of no AMTRAK service from the north into Philadelphia, the alternate route to the meet venue and hotel is New Jersey Transit (NJT) from New York to Trenton and the River Line from Trenton to the Rand Transportation Center in Camden. From there you can use PATCO to 8th/Market (three blocks from Convention Center) or one of the NJT bus routes that go into Philadelphia via the Ben Franklin bridge and use 6th, Market and Broad Sts. to Vine. There is a stop at Broad and Cherry Sts. right at the main Broad St entrance of the Convention Center. NJT is advising on their web site that they are honoring AMTRAK tickets on the Trenton and River lines.
