⁴ᴷ Walking Tour of Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan, NYC
Video Overview & Insights
Enjoy this virtual walking tour of NYC's Pennsylvania Station (Penn Station) in the borough of Manhattan, where I explore the busiest train station in the Western Hemisphere. It is located between 7th and 8th Avenues, and 31st and 34th Streets. It is completely underground. The station serves Amtrak, Long Island Railroad, and New Jersey Transit trains, with connections to PATH and the New York City Subway.
Hey, question. Do you still live in Florida?

I forgot just how dark and gloomy the LIRR concourse was before the major renovation. It looks way better nowadays.

This video just made me angry, considering what was lost and what the city has had to put up with for so long. I've been to bad stations, but this one is just a retrofitted basement and an affront to both rail travel and architecture. Not to mention a huge, corporate middle finger to the people of this city!

En la puerta 34 de Penn Station, se fotografió la banda Anthrax para la contratapa de su album "Among the Living" lanzado hoy 22 de Marzo de 1986.
@migueltorobascunan5382Now that is a Great Video ❤
@JTC2227Soo.. you dont have to pay to get into the train?
@Pablo14200Thank you for this video. I'm on crutches right now, and I need to see the layout to save myself some steps. Really helpful.
@sethmason5682I hate how the LIRR portion of penn station looks now, it has lower head room and everything is shut down and more narrow
@EthanMandelson50 years later, still scuttling in like rats.....
As much as I love the Garden, the demo of old Penn Station was not worth it.
I can't begin to tell you how many time I was in this station during 1978 to 1991 thousands of times
@readynow12345Me too because penn station was amazing!
@gabekeefe8103I don't know how a station manages to be both big and small at the same time, but Penn Station somehow does it.
@Nick-kz6dgWhat a confusing maze
@MrRamon8Was that final section a newer concourse for the LIRR?
@johnepantsI saw this exact comment on a video of a Grand Central walk-through, so I'm here to bring it to a walk-through of Grand Central's former rival/superior.

@wl03buWithin about a year or two we should know the fate of Penn Station. It seems the odds are getting better for a reconstruction of the old Penn Station what with the MSG running it's lease out in 2023 and the desperate need for a new Garden elsewhere in the city, and the pending decision on what will happen to 2 Penn Plaza (tear it down or re-model it). The incredible increase in traffic from Amtrak, LRR, and NJT is making the hall burst at the seems, and track infrastructure is so messed up that the recent rebuild amounted to no improvement. Either the Northeast Corridor will remain relevant to commuters into and out of NYC, or it won't. Good luck commuting into and out of Manhattan if Penn Station isn't rebuilt within the next 8-10 years.
@rif167This was the last thing I saw of New York City right before I moved out of there. Lived there for 10 years until I move to buffalo ny I'd live for 3 years now I miss NYC dearly. The last train I took was the A then the Amtrak
@deadass_deezy0727Grazie, è talmente grande che sembra l'ambientazione di un videogioco. it's so big that it looks like a video game setting
@faberbioHells half acre.
@TheBestAMVsOfYEARThe LIRR stations at Penn use NYC Subway signs? That's very special.
@MichaelOKeefe2009Amazing video. I went NYC this february, including Penn Station (from Newark Airport). Fantastic city. Greetings from Brazil.
@nelsonvalencio4241Best video of a NYP tour
@RailfanRobert-q3fWalking in circles wtf
@ckinard2So i guess stay the fuck at home don't mean shit?
@cavemanballistics6338You stepped on the gas at 4:40!
@crBudgetWatchesWhere are all the homeless people i read about in the reviews of this place?
@fundude4566Out of all the areas in the station I hate the New Jersey Transit area the most. I use the LIRR mostly and there are definitely the least amount of homeless in the LIRR areas I find. If you wanna see the lowest of society go to the NJT area at 1am after all the last trains leave. It’s a whole different world. It’s sad to see but it’s completely out of control.
@rrrglynnI think l will be lost tomorrow 😂😂
@smokyrs9838I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY TRAIN STATIONS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! :-D
@kevp9601OMG! IT'S HUGE! Chicago Union Station seems so massive, but this place makes it seem beyond tiny! But of course, the Loop has 4 busy rail terminals whereas apparently the Big Apple only has 2.
@Ferrosudō_ChicagoBy any standard of massive, it is massive!
@StevenTorreyHow big is Penn Station?
@benmangrum8626Great video. I went through Penn every day for years as a commuter. I hated the low ceilings, which I see still remain but it looks a great deal cleaner and at least a bit more welcoming.
@atomsmash100Terrified the Winchester Grayson couple are going to miss their Metro-North train, they quickly hopped on with 5 seconds to spare at Penn Station after they arrived.
@LaurenEveCreates👋👍📹✌
@MG-mo3khI always figured Grand Central was the busier station but I guess Penn gets the airport traffic.
@michaelkitchin9665Would it be safe to say that someone who has trouble walking up and down steps would have trouble getting around the station?
@brendapayne6603Excellent video! I think you do a fine job of capturing not only the activity but the ambiance of the setting as well.
@William_sJazzLoftvery nice penn station
@kunaltrivedi2759Yeh gotta help me! I feel a weird sense of pleasure in the LIRR concourse!
