I too remember as a kid walking thru the original Penn Sta with my parents. It was dark & eerie. The concrete pillars were desperately in need of a steam cleaning. At the time the PRR owner was broke. They couldn't afford to maintain it & make any effort to make riders feel comfortable. The mindset at the time is that the long distance train was on borrowed time so such a grandiose station was not needed.So they got big bucks for the air rights and the rest is history as they say |
