## Caption

In the heart of 30th Street Station, the Pennsylvania Railroad War Memorial stands as a powerful tribute to the 1,307 railroad employees who lost their lives in World War II. 🚉✨

Created by artist and veteran Walker Hancock, the bronze sculpture depicts Archangel Michael lifting a fallen soldier from the flames of battle — a symbol of sacrifice, honor, and remembrance.

📍 Take a moment to stop, look up, and reflect next time you’re passing through.
