Pennsylvania Station, also known as New York Penn Station or Penn Station, is the main intercity railroad station in New York City. Serving more than 350,000 commuter rail and Amtrak passengers a day, it is one of the busiest passenger transportation hubs in the Western Hemisphere. Penn Station is in Midtown Manhattan, close to Herald Square, the Empire State Building, Koreatown, and the Macy's department store. Entirely underground, it sits beneath Madison Square Garden, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues and between 31st and 33rd Streets, with additional exits to nearby streets. Penn Station has 21 tracks fed by seven tunnels . It is at the center of the Northeast Corridor, a passenger rail line that connects New York City with Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and intermediate points. Intercity trains are operated by Amtrak, which owns the station, while commuter rail services are operated by the Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit. Connections are available within the complex to the New York City Subway, and buses. The old Hilton Corridor formerly provided indoor connection with the 34th Street–Herald Square subway station and 33rd Street PATH station.Penn Station is named for the Pennsylvania Railroad , its builder and original tenant, and shares its name with several stations in other cities. The current facility is the remodeled underground remnant of the original Pennsylvania Station, a more ornate station building designed by McKim, Mead, and White and completed in 1910. Considered a masterpiece of the Beaux-Arts style, its headhouse was torn down in 1963, galvanizing the modern historic preservation movement. The rest of the station was rebuilt in the following six years. Future plans for Penn Station include adding platforms at the station's south end to accommodate two proposed Gateway Project tunnels. Plans also call for shifting some trains to the adjacent Farley Post Office, which had been built along with the 1910 station. Moynihan Station, a project to add new concourses for the LIRR and Amtrak within the Farley Post Office building, is being built in phases.
