Virtual Program

Free

SOLD OUT!

In its 115-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 Jersey. 

 

Join Transit Historian Andy Sparberg to hear more about the history and evolution of the landmark. 

 

As always everyone is welcome to join. This virtual talk provides a deep dive, thus is best suited for those who have some knowledge of New York City transit.
