Pennsylvania Station (normally abbreviated Penn Station) is a label first applied by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) to several of its grand passenger terminals.
New York City
main: Pennsylvania Station (New York City) The best-known and first to bear the name is New York City's Penn Station. The station opened September 8, 1910 for Long Island Rail Road trains via the new tunnel under the East River. Pennsylvania Railroad trains began using it November 27, supplementing and eventually replacing the old New York City-area terminal across the Hudson River at Exchange Place in Jersey City. The name was adopted by the PRR on March 1, 1909. The opening of the Hell Gate Bridge on April 1, 1917 brought New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad intercity trains into Penn Station. The station now lies along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and Empire Corridor, and serves New Jersey Transit and Long Island Rail Road commuter trains.
Newark, New Jersey
main: Pennsylvania Station (Newark) Across the Hudson River from New York City is Newark, New Jersey's Penn Station, opened March 24, 1935. The station lies along the Northeast Corridor, and is served by Amtrak and New Jersey Transit, as well as PATH and the Newark Light Rail (both realigned or extended to the station June 20, 1937, leading to the closure of Manhattan Transfer). The station is a major transfer point for passengers bound for Lower Manhattan via PATH.
Philadelphia
main: 30th Street Station Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's 30th Street Station was named Pennsylvania Station when the upper (commuter) level opened on September 28, 1930.
Baltimore
main: Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore) Baltimore, Maryland's Union Station was renamed Penn Station on August 1, 1928. Amtrak Northeast Corridor intercity service and MARC commuter service still operate through the station; the station is also served by a spur of the Baltimore Light Rail.
Harrisburg
main: Pennsylvania Station (Harrisburg) Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's Union Station was also known as Penn Station. It was built in 1887 and rebuilt in 1905. It was shared by Reading Railroad, Northern Central Railway, and the Cumberland Valley Railroad, until the Reading Railroad built a separate station in Harrisburg. Today it has the name Harrisburg Transportation Center and serves Amtrak's Keystone Service and Pennsylvanian intercity lines, along with Greyhound, Trailways, and at least two local bus services.
