# Regional Rail Station Arrivals & Departures

`GET /Arrivals/index.php`

Returns a list/queue of trains to arrive at a station in two/both directions. The direction is demarcated as either Northbound or Southbound. The direction are obviously not geographical references, but rather a reference to the old Reading and Pennsy Railroads. The key to understanding the directio                       n is by using Suburban Station as a starting point: Any trains that move eastbound towards Market East are all considered Northbound; trains going from suburban t                       o 30th St are all Southbound. The path field describes more accurately the path of travel along various branches. Every regional stop is a valid parameter.Please                        refer to the <a href='/VIRegionalRail.html'>Regional Rail Inputs</a> page to see all valid inputs
