Passenger Trains > Moynihan Station Opening Day -- New Years Day 2021Date: 12/29/20 14:59 Moynihan Station Opening Day -- New Years Day 2021 Author: tradermarco Good Evening Railfans,
Is anyone planning on visiting Amtrak's new train hall on opening day? Would anyone like to meet & greet & eat? (hmmmm & hoist a pint or two) https://rew-online.com/new-moynihan-train-hall-to-open-on-new-years-day/ Date: 12/29/20 16:25 Re: Moynihan Station Opening Day -- New Years Day 2021 Author: Passfanatic Not with what's been happening with the COVID-19. I'm probably going to wait a few months when the numbers come down and more people get their vaccines. I know that while 1/1/21 will be a historic day in both Amtrak and NYC history, I am putting the health and safety of me, my loved ones, and everybody else who I congregate with on a regular basis first. I live extremely close to NYC and I'm not moving out of the region where I live anytime soon.

New York City should have beautiful station like this. I look forward to seeing it when it is safer to travel!

Date: 01/02/21 13:27 Re: Moynihan Station Opening Day -- New Years Day 2021 Author: Lackawanna484 The CBS Saturday Morning News had a nice feature on the new station. Very reminiscent of the old Penn Station, with iron girders, other design elements. Mr Flynn led Jeff Glohr through the waiting room mentioned Amtrak's desire to renew transportation, with Amtrak's low impact on the environment.
He took a lot of pride in Amtrak's ability to deliver the project under budget and on time Date: 01/02/21 14:28 Re: Moynihan Station Opening Day -- New Years Day 2021 Author: 41bridge Link to the CBS story. A must view. Historical footage as well as new. Commercial at the beginning. Be patient.
