I am glad they called it "Moynihan Train Hall" and not "Moynihan Rail Passenger Hall" or one of the similar monstrosities that have infected the English language in this age of affectations and gaseous, inflated titles for everything. What was the matter with "train station" that some gasbag(s) had to come up with "rail passenger station" (two words and four syllables to replace a one-word, one syllable descriptor that had served well for over a hundred years)? Maybe a "rail passenger station" should be where people go to be run on a rail out of town.
It is a small consolation that a few pieces of the original Pennsylvania Station still survive. I took the attached photos in the New York City subway when I was there in October 2016.

Thanks for adding the subway photos. I took some also but forgot to add them. Glad you did.

But mine points the other way!

Thanks
