Captured here four years after opening, Moynihan Train Hall is a new annex (repurposed from the Post Office) to the otherwise dungeon-like remnants of the old Penn Station, which has been buried under Madison Square Garden since 1963.

Many of the design elements of the new hall pay deliberate homage to the lost original, befittingly grand, Penn Station, including especially the prominently exposed steel beams. There are no seats in the main hall, though there are smaller ticketed waiting areas to the side, as well as a substantial food court. The lack of a "big board" is deliberate, to discourage crowding in any particular area (there is instead a collection of smaller train status monitors spread throughout the hall).
