<p>[quote user="tomikawaTT"]</p> <p>As a high school student in the early 1950s I had occasion to wander all over New York, including Penn Station.</p> <p>The posted photos make the main concourse look like the Taj Mahal. In person, it was dingy, filthy and just plain ugly. I, for one, felt no sense of loss when the air space was used for the New Madison Square Garden (which was never a garden and is now nowhere near Madison Square...)</p> <p>Chuck</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Many of the old time terminals that were "dingy, filthy and just plain ugly" and you call it have since been beautifully restored. Some still function as railroad terminals.</p> <p>Kansas City, Newark Penn, Washington DC, Kansas City, St Louis, Los Angeles, Scranton PA and Jersey City Terminals come to mind.</p>
