Pennsylvania Station

The famed Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan was noted for its glass dome. The architects drew inspiration from the Gare d’Orsay in Paris, which today is no longer a railroad station and is home to one of the world’s best art museums. (Railfanning.org Digital Library)

Overview

The earliest incarnation of Pennsylvania Railroad’s Exchange Place station in Jersey City, the then-terminus of its rail line, opened in 1834. Here, passengers bound for New York City transferred to a ferry to destinations in Manhattan. The new Penn Station in New York City opened in 1910.
