Empire State Development Opens the Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station
- Moynihan Train Hall opened on 1 January 2021 in the James A. Farley Building, the former main post office opened in 1914[2]
- The $1.6 billion project, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, has a 486,000 sq ft complex with a 31,000 sq ft concourse under a 92 ft glass skylight[2]
- It serves 17 of Penn Station's 21 tracks for Amtrak and LIRR, raising concourse space by 50%; NJ Transit's four southernmost tracks are not reached[2]
- Planned since the early 1990s, it went through Amtrak's 2004 withdrawal and return after the state bought the building in 2006; hall construction began in 2017[2]
- Art includes Kehinde Wiley's Go, and most of the rest of the Farley Building is leased by Meta Platforms[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
