Train Talks

A talk on the history of Penn Station

In its 114-year history, Penn Station has seen its share of transformations, including Madison Square Garden and the recent opening of Moynihan Hall. While remaining the busiest Amtrak station in the country, its primary function has evolved to accommodate shorter-distance commutes to the bedroom communities of Long Island and New Jerse

Join transit historian Andy Sparberg in an open-air talk at Plaza33, located adjacent to Penn Station, to hear more about the history and evolution of this landmark train station.
