Penn station is no longer under the control of NYC itself, instead President Trump has seized control of Americas largest train station... which might be the best thing to ever happen to it.
Journalistic report. Includes news footage and commentary.

Sounds like WE are having some fun going forward.
Where is the witch Hocul?
Put it back the way McKim Mead and White built it in the first place. The Baths of Caracalla.
It was magnificent.
True?
If so, great on them.
Hooray!
There goes all the kickbacks.
Let the New York City companies pay for it.
Ouch!
A kick in the scrotum to the MTA...
A rat’s nest of thievery, fraud, and corruption...
Opening a bottle of wine and laughing her ass off because the New York City power brokers got President Trump to force taxpayers throughout the country to pay for a commuting station for New York City employees.
Let the employers in New York City pay for it.
Trump should make all of the “Station” using ‘Rats walk back and forth.

Cannot claim it’s a typo. Duffy, people. The left spelled neither part is his name correctly.
Amongst the decades of Trump success, there is the wonderful skating rink. Some dipsticks were “renovating” the rink for years. His children would ask about it. Finally, he obtained the contract and refurbished it in a matter of months.
If only he could use “imminent domain” to declare San Francisco, New York disaster areas, and clean out the vermin.
That’s one thing you won’t see government-run passenger rail do.
BTW, I’ve only got anecdotal evidence, but it was apparently because of what was done to NY Penn that the city’s Grand Central was saved.
I would certainly hope that eminent domain was imminent to those cities.
A few years ago one MTA guy made the news because he earned something like $180,000 salary plus $240,000 overtime but hadn’t shown up for work in a year.
How’s ‘bout another good reason...security!
“It was magnificent.”
It was, as fine as Grand Central. I hope they improve the Penn Station platforms. It’s like a horrible dungeon down there.
