10. Remnants of Original Penn Station Abound in the Existing Station

Cast Iron waiting room divider in Penn Station

Staircases, handrails, a stunning cast-iron partition, glass bricks that once formed the floor and ceiling of the original station, two eagles (of the many that have found new homes around the country) and many more remnants of the original Penn Station are still located in the subterranean replacement. You can track them down on our Remnants of Penn Station walking tour.

New renovations at the station have obscured some of the remnants that were once visible, but the renovations have also paid homage to the original station. A new mosaic mural at one of the station’s accessible entrances depicts the iconic clock from the original station.
