The Moynihan Train Hall, which partners Amtrak with the New York State Empire State Development Corp., expands the nation’s busiest train station, New York Penn Station, into the historic James A. Farley Post Office building to relieve crowding and improve passenger comfort and security. The Farley Post Office building sits across 8th Avenue from Penn Station and was designed by the same architecture firm, McKim, Mead, and White, as the original, iconic Penn Station.
The Train Hall is expected to open to the public in early 2021.
