More than just putting Amtrak in charge, they need to declare, or make by law, that all of Penn Station is federal property, and then cut off NY, NYC red tape and reduce the federal red tape to make decisions and get the project done.Great post and you're totally right on this last part. Thanks for sharing. Trump should look into this matter and 'assist' with ideas.

That’s how it looked when it was first built. That building, designed by McKim, Mead & White, was demolished between 1963 and 1966 and the current communistic building put up in its place. Its demolition has been cited as the primary mover for saving Grand Central Terminal’s concourse.

A buck a day per passenger might fund the whole project!

I was born and raised in Rochester, NY. My Dad worked as a track foreman for the New York Central. He retired not long after it became PennCentral. Because my Dad worked for the railroad, we got to ride the train for free. Every so often on a Saturday, as a family, we'd hop on the train and go to Buffalo to visit the Buffalo Zoo, then we'd get back on the train, and rode to Niagara Falls, spend the rest of the day there, and get back home about 9 p.m. We didn't have a car, so we'd take a taxi to the train station. It was the only time we ever rode in one.
The Rochester train station was beautiful. Built in 1914, it had the similar art-deco style of many other NY Central stations in the State. It had a beautiful mosaic fountain in the entrance way. They tore it down in 1965 to put in a parking lot.

Bloomberg tore down what Giuliani built up. Started piling on with “soda taxes” and other absurd regulations; really paved the way for De Blasio.

President Trump needs to hire a Dagny Taggart to get it done right!
