According to my April 26, 1953 PRR Form 1 Timetable, of the 22 eastbound trains that were routed to or passed through Philadelphia, only the Philadelphia Night Express and The Statesman went to 30th Street Station.  This is because they terminated in Philadelphia.  They ran as one train, with a 7;40 a.m. arrival on Sunday morning as opposed to a 6:05 a.m. arrival on the other days.  All the other trains stopped at North Philadelphia. Of the 19 westbound trains that originated or passed through Philadelphia, only the Pittsburgh Night Express and The Statesman, again running as one train, used 30th Street Station. The aforementioned trains were the Pennsy's mailline offerings.  Stretching the concept of east/west a bit, the Philadelphia and Atlantic City trains, as well as the Philadelphia and Cape May trains, called at North Philadelphia and 30th Street Philadelphia.  Of course, these were not commonly thought of east/west trains in the sense that the Broadway Limited was an east/west train, but Atlantic City is southeast of Philadelphia as is Cape May.  And they are more east than south, at least from my perspective.
