Getting Around
This train has four stops in Philly and then goes over the river to NJ; the last stop in Philly is 8th and Market.
There is a pretty great view from the bridge overlooking Philly, but I don't recommend getting out in Camden, NJ (It's fine - it's where I go to school - but not exactly a "touristy" spot unless you're going to a concert at the BB&T Center.
