Moynihan Train Hall is an expansion of Pennsylvania Station, the main intercity and commuter rail station in New York City, into the city's former main post office building, the James A. Farley Building. Located between Eighth Avenue, Ninth Avenue, 31st Street, and 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, the annex provides new access to most of Penn Station's platforms for Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers, serving 17 of the station's 21 tracks. The hall is named after Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. Senator who had originally championed the plan. The building's exterior resembles that of the original Penn Station; both buildings were designed by the same architect, McKim, Mead & White, in the Beaux-Arts style.

  • Moynihan Train Hall is an expansion of Pennsylvania Station, the main intercity and commuter rail station in New York City, into the city's former main post office building, the James A. Farley Building. Located between Eighth Avenue, Ninth Avenue, 31st Street, and 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, the annex provides new access to most of Penn Station's platforms for Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers, serving 17 of the station's 21 tracks. The hall is named after Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. Senator who had originally championed the plan. The building's exterior resembles that of the original Penn Station; both buildings were designed by the same architect, McKim, Mead & White, in the Beaux-Arts style. The 486,000 sq ft (45,200 m2) complex was built to alleviate congestion in Penn Station, which saw 650,000 daily riders before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The $1.6 billion renovation restored the Beaux-Arts Farley Building, a designated landmark, and added a central atrium with a glass roof. Moynihan Train Hall includes retail space, a 320-seat waiting area, and public restrooms. The hall is decorated with three artworks: a ceiling triptych named Go, a group of photographic panels, and a sculptural group. The project had been in consideration since the early 1990s, with the first blueprints made public in 1993. However, several previous plans had failed because of a lack of funding and logistical difficulties. Amtrak withdrew as a tenant in 2004, but returned after the Farley Building was sold to the New York state government in 2006. A first phase, involving an expansion of a concourse under the Farley Building, started in 2010 and was completed in June 2017. Construction of the train hall proper commenced in 2017, and it opened January 1, 2021. (en)
  • O Moynihan Train Hall é uma expansão da Pennsylvania Station no edifício James A. Farley, anteriormente o edifício dos correios na cidade de Nova Iorque. Localizado entre a Oitava Avenida, a Quinta Avenida, a 31st Street e a 33rd Street em Midtown Manhattan, o anexo é o novo acesso para a maioria dos passageiros que usam as plataformas da Amtrak e da Long Island Rail Road, servindo 17 dos 21 trilhos da estação. O pavilhão foi nomeado em homenagem a Daniel Patrick Moynihan, o senador que originalmente defendeu o projeto. O exterior do edifício remonta à Penn Station original; ambos os edifícios foram projetados pelo mesma firma, McKim, Mead & White, no estilo Beaux-Arts. O complexo de 45 200 m2 foi construído para aliviar o tráfego na Penn Station, que recebeu 650 000 passageiros diários antes da pandemia de COVID-19 em 2020. A renovação de 1,6 bilhões de dólares americanos restaurou o edifício em estilo Beaux-Arts Farley, um marco histórico nacional, e adicionou um átrio central com um teto de vidro. Além disso, o Moynihan Train Hall inclui espaços comerciais, uma área de espera de 320 assentos, banheiros públicos e três obras de arte. O projeto foi considerado desde o começo da década de 1990, com a publicação das primeiras plantas em 1993. Entretanto, vários planos anteriores haviam falhado por falta de fundos e problemas logísticos. A Amtrak retirou-se como uma ocupante em 2004, mas voltou depois que o edifício Farley foi vendido para o governo do Estado de Nova Iorque em 2006. A primeira fase, que envolvia a expansão de um saguão abaixo do edifício Farley, começou em 2010 e foi concluída em junho de 2017. A construção do pavilhão ferroviário propriamente dito começou em 2017. O anexo foi aberto em 1º de janeiro de 2021. (pt)
