<P mce_keep="true">The "righties" have it correct. In addition to the sights seen from the right hand side of the train that have been mention, you will get an excellent view of some of New York City's tallest buildings (Empire State, Chrysler, etc.) just before the train dives under the Hudson River. </P> <P mce_keep="true">I lived in New York City for five years. And I get back there every year or so to visit with relatives. I probably arrived in the City more than 100 times on a train from the south. One of the more spectacular views can be had just before dusk when the lights on the city are on but it is not quite dark.</P> <P mce_keep="true">An excellent read of how Penn Station and the connecting tunnels were built is <EM>Conquering </EM><I>Gotham</I> by Jill Jonnes. It is an amazing story and will enhance your appreciation of the engineering feat of boring under the Hudson and East rivers. </P>
