Penn Station's beautiful new train hall is set to open in the new year.

For more than half a century, New Yorkers have trudged through the crammed platforms and dark hallways of Pennsylvania Station, the busiest and perhaps most miserable train hub in North America. The station served 650,000 riders each weekday before the pandemic, or 3 times the number it was built to handle.

But as more commuters return next year, they will be welcomed by a new, $1.6 billion train hall complete with over an acre of glass skylights, art installations and 92-foot-high ceilings.

After nearly 3 years of construction, the new Moynihan Train Hall will open, in the James A. Farley Post Office building across Eighth Avenue from Penn Station, as a waiting room for @amtrak and @mtalirr passengers. And it echoes the former glory of the original Penn Station building, an awe-inspiring structure that was demolished in the 1960s.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, who championed the project, has likened it to the majestic Grand Central Terminal. That the project has been completed during a period when the city was brought to a standstill is a hopeful reminder that the bustle of Midtown Manhattan will return, he said, noting that the train hall “sends a clear message to the world that while we suffered greatly as a result of this once-in-a-century health crisis, the pandemic did not stop us from dreaming big and building for the future.” Tap the link in our bio to see more from the new hall.
