New York City’s Penn Station Unveils Stunning Moynihan Train Hall After 30 Years
Trudging below the low ceiling and fluorescent lights of New York City’s outdated Penn Station is now a thing of the past. After nearly three decades, the new $1.6 billion Moynihan Train Hall opened to the public on New Year’s Day, complete with a 92-foot-tall ceiling and sprawling glass skylight atrium. “As dark as 2020 has been, this new hall will bring the light, literally and figuratively, for everyone who visits this great city,” New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said at a preopening event on Dec. 30, adding that “Amtrak really made things happen and made things happen quickly.”
