Almost 60 years ago, the iconic New York City terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad — known as Pennsylvania Station, or just Penn Station — was demolished, reducing the once-grand facility to a warren of below-grade concourses and platforms. By the early 1990s, however, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., championed a proposal to convert a nearby structure — a mosdy vacant former U.S. Postal Service building — into an expanded Penn Station that would restore a sense of dignity to rail travel and provide a grand public space for passengers returning home or arriving from afar. |
