16. The Smithsonian Zoo
The Penn Station eagle at the National Zoo is located next to the Bird House. Secretary of Smithsonian S. Dillon Ripley and other board members of the National Zoological Park negotiated for one to be given to the site. They were successful and received the eagle as a gift from Stuart Saunders, Chairman of the Board of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The eagle arrived on June 23, 1965 and was originally installed at the entrance.
The eagle temporarily traveled to Montreal for the Expo 67 in Montreal, where it appeared in the US Pavilion. Upon it return, the eagle was placed in front of the Bird House.
17. Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia
One of the alumni from Hampden-Sydney College, William Lashley, was a vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Some reports indicate that the eagle was located at the end zone of the football field at some point. It is dedicated to the students who lost their lives in World War II.
18. Eagle in Vinalhaven, Maine
This eagle from the front facade of the original Penn Station found a home in Vinalhaven, Maine because the granite quarry for the original Penn Station was located here. Vinalhaven also supplied the granite for the Brooklyn Bridge and the US State Capitol.
