Penn Station
Amtrak's NYC stop
Penn Station is a colloquial name for Pennsylvania Station, a major railway hub in Manhattan, New York City, serving Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and the Long Island Rail Road.
The current station, located beneath Madison Square Garden, replaced an architecturally celebrated Beaux-Arts structure demolished in 1963—a loss that galvanized the historic preservation movement in the United States.

The name also refers to similar stations in Newark and Baltimore.
