Default Layover at PHL

So, I'm going to have about six hours of layover time at Philadephia
Airport on a Sunday afternoon in a few weeks. For those of you who've
used this airport, is it feasible to take the train into town - say to
Suburban Station - to walk around, maybe get a late lunch, and come back
with enough time to get through security for the next flight?

Also, is there a place to store luggage during this time? I doubt there
are lockers any more, but perhaps there's some sort of "left luggage"
or "luggage deposit" service desk?

Good for a between-flight session at the Standard Tap or Monk's or
somewhere else with good food and drink in Center City. Works for me.

D'oh. Looked, and it doesn't mention one. Maybe I can ask/pay the
folks at the lost-and-found desk to store our stuff. Or I could take
an even bigger risk and check our luggage (ugh). I normally travel
pretty light, and carry what I need on-board.
