# 30th Street Station Removes Famous Solari Board

The historic Solari board that once stood in [30th street station](https://www.septa.org/stations/rail/30th.html), ringing out and announcing daily train schedules, is no more. [AMTRAK](https://www.amtrak.com/home.html) announced in November that they would remove the sign, which has been a staple of the station since the 1970s. [SEPTA](https://www.septa.org/) staff later began disassembling the board in late January. Though once commonplace in airports and trains all across the nation, the dated board is now a relic of an earlier time and stands more as a novelty than an actual utility. The parts of the board are no longer manufactured, making repair of the board even more difficult. The station will now also begin a new sign upgrade, that is estimated to cost roughly 11 million dollars in total. The historic sign will also be donated to the [railroad museum of Pennsylvania](https://rrmuseumpa.org/), where it will be displayed as a part of PA's rail history.
