Reply to "Penn Station NY Destruction?"

Many of the columns and the interior and exterior statuary was unceremoniously dumped in an area along Penhorn Creek, east of Secaucus Rd. and north of the former PRR main line, in Secaucus, NJ.

Most of it became covered over during subsequent development of the area.

A number of years ago, I read an online piece by an amateur archaeologist who had discovered the whereabouts of the lost dump site and was in the process of organizing an entity to salvage a number of significant pieces and find appropriate homes for them. 

I never saw any follow-up to the original posts.

Here is a link to a famous photo of the dump site when the remains of the station were first placed there.

I believe the author identified this copse of trees as the place where he discovered the ruins.
