In June of 2019 the Long Island Railroad started construction on a new concourse at Penn Station. They wanted a wider corridor and higher ceilings than what they have had since I came to Long Island in 1966! You have seen photographs of the interior construction and the finished result, which is just stunning! Well, now the outside is pretty much done as well, I think. This swooping entrance on the 33rd street side of the station leads to spectacular escalators that lead to the main concourse. On the outside everything has been changed from the exterior of the building from top to bottom and then this large overhanging roof supported by giant white steel columns, and the finishing touch was resurfacing all the walking areas with marble. It is an amazing transformation!
