Description

There are two things most commuters don’t realize about Penn station history:
First, there used to be a gorgeous Beaux Arts station that was demolished in the mid-60’s.

Second: Parts of that old station can still be found today. They’ve just been buried under the arena that landed on top of them.

Although Amtrak only acknowledges one remnant remaining, tour participants will learn about station history and discover over a dozen remnants of the McKim, Mead & White building hiding in plain sight.

Penn Station tours will continue to be supported by photographic presentations of the station by renown photographers Norman McGrath, Peter Moore, and Aaron Rose, along with the work of railroad aficionados Alexander Hatos, an employee of Pennsylvania Railroad and Ron Ziel, a railroad historian.
