Moynihan Train Hall, completed in 2021, serves as the head house for Pennsylvania Station's western end, located within the landmarked James A. Farley Building in Midtown Manhattan. Designed by the same architectural firm, McKim, Mead & White, that created the original Penn Station, the 486,000-square-foot complex features a Beaux-Arts exterior that echoes the classical grandeur of its predecessor. The $1.6 billion renovation preserved the historic Farley Building while introducing a striking central atrium crowned with a glass roof. The hall provides access to 17 of Penn Station's 21 tracks for Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers, alleviating congestion at a station that previously served 650,000 daily riders. Amenities include retail space, a 320-seat waiting area, public restrooms, and artworks commissioned for the space—a ceiling triptych titled Go, photographic panels, and a sculptural installation. Named for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who championed the project, the train hall represents the culmination of plans conceived in the early 1990s but delayed by funding and logistical challenges for nearly three decades.
