With the longest of 21 station tracks in the middle and shorter tracks on the sides, only the six most central platforms — handling traffic on tracks 5 through 16— extend far enough to allow escalators and elevators to replace the chutes and conveyor belts that once distributed mail.
There are other constraints. Tracks 1 through 4 are western-facing stub ends, so they are unavailable to Long Island Rail Road trains headed to and from the East River Tunnels. Amtrak used these relatively short tracks for New York-Harrisburg, Pa. But since the new station opened Jan. The Long Island has a separate concourse for its commuters, while NJ Transit built an additional ticketing and waiting area to take pressure off the concourse it shares with Amtrak. But they may exit through the new station if their inbound train happens to arrive at any track above 4.
Where to board? Though not advertised, all Amtrak trains are announced and can still be boarded and exited through Penn Station, which is closer than Moynihan Train Hall to busy 7th Avenue subway lines. Long Island trains are also announced and posted on departure displays at both Moynihan and the Long Island concourse at Penn, including LIRR trains that depart from tracks 17 through 21 there is an elevator to track 17 at Moynihan, but no escalators.
However, those high-numbered tracks can be accessed via a nearby ramp leading to the Long Island concourse, which had been extended west several years ago. Exclusively for Acela First Class and sleeping car passengers, it offers an elevated vantage point of a bustling station unlike vistas in any other U.
Which way on the platform? Arriving Amtrak passengers must decide which station they want to pass through. Ticketing and baggage claim is only available at Moynihan, while Penn is closer to subways, offers NJ Transit connections, and has numerous food choices Starbucks is the only concession currently open at the new facility. Unfortunately, this was not made clear to Lake Shore Limited passengers arriving on track 6 on Jan.
Those with checked baggage were then forced to figure out how to get over to Moynihan see below. After 54 days, Ottawa light rail service resumes. Winnipeg rail museum faces closure, relocation.

Classic Railroad Scenes: Railroads at Work. The year-old bar is a favorite among commuters, and many fans are already mourning the impending closure. But most of the outcry on social media has been about Tracks, a beloved bar with raw seafood that was a rare gem in the bustling station. Opening in next to the window that sells tickets to the Long Island Rail Road, Tracks is a long and narrow bar littered with train-related memorabilia.
It regularly fills up for happy hour and houses loyal regulars, who the New York Times once claimed are willing to miss a train just for some time here. One of those regulars told the Times that all he does is nod to one of the long-time bartenders to order his usual gin and tonic. Tracks is a great restaurant. I was introduced to tracks a few years ago by a dear friend. I will miss Tracks! Tracks is a transit hub bar cathedral.
