Amtrak and LIRR have a new home in New York City. A visionary project – a generation in the making – championed by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Moynihan Train Hall is the city’s newest grand civic icon. The $1.6 billion project transforms the 100+ year-old James A. Farley Post Office Building into a modern, world-class transit hub – an idea first proposed by the late United States Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan more than a quarter-century ago.
Moynihan Train Hall provides a new way to access both Amtrak and Long Island Railroad services, connecting directly with the existing platforms beneath Penn Station.
Moynihan Train Hall is conveniently located directly opposite the existing Penn Station complex, on the west side of 8th Avenue, and offers the same easy access to the A,C,E and 1,2,3 subway lines and local bus services, as well as CitiBike, taxi and rideshare services right outside the Train Hall.
Opening Hours: 5:00AM – 1:00AM, Daily
Note: Amtrak and LIRR services at Penn Station should be used from 1:00AM – 5:00AM.
Three of the world’s leading artists—Stan Douglas, Kehinde Wiley, and artistic duo Elmgreen & Dragset— were commissioned to develop large-scale site-specific artworks that reflect the past, present, and future of the train hall.
The Farley Building was one of the first buildings landmarked under preservation laws created in wake of the destruction of its sister structure, the original Penn Station. New exterior features include street and sidewalk improvements, restoration of the historic building moats, and security enhancements.
Improving Penn Station – the busiest transit facility in the Western Hemisphere, and linchpin of the transportation network of New York and the Northeast – has long been considered one of the state’s and the nation’s most critical infrastructure priorities.
