Penn Station 1941 |
| Description: |
This was taken by my grandfather, Frank Beckett, some time in the 1940-41 period. I came across an envelope marked Penn Station 1941 containing these photos. My grandparents lived in Manhasset NY starting in 1940, so he would have been riding the Port Wasington train by then. |

A look toward the ticket window |
| Description: |
Its not direct, but in the lower part of the frame you can see the "parlor car tickets" sign. This is in the area where the LIRR trains came in, so Im assuming its a Long Island sign, since they had a healthy parlor business over the years. |

NH EP5 378 |
| Description: |
New Haven EP5 378 at Penn Station in New York City, New York on an unknown day in June 1963, Kodachrome by R. S. Short, Chuck Zeiler collection. It must be a warm day in 1963, the motorman on the inbound Long Island train has his door open. I'm from the midwest, so I have a question to New York City people. What is/was the Gothic-looking building, second from the far right above the trailers. |

Tearing it down |
| Description: |
The demolition of Penn Station was well underway when dad caught this shaft of light through one of the windows. This was the greatest act of vandalism of the 20th century, and fostered the historical preservation movement that saved, among other places, Grand Central Terminal. |

LIRR concourse |
| Description: |
The demolition of Penn Station was continuing when dad grabbed this shot of waiting passengers. Theres still light from above on the LIRR level. It wont be too long before this is just a glorified subway station. The date is a guess, but when was the last time you saw men in hats, and anyone reading Look magazine?? |

| Description: |
Dad often shot photos from 33rd St west of the post office, where the tracks saw a block of daylight before going back underground. This day, he caught what looks like a Florida train heading out behind a pair of AEM 7s, with another corridor train behind one in the distance. |

Daylight |
| Description: |
There was a short stretch of daylight between the station tracks and the end of the North River tubes, roughly between 9th and 10th Avenues. It provded a small glimpse into the underground life of the city. Dad lived just off 9th Av on 34th St, and came by here often. He liked the image of the complicated track pattern-of necessity due to the need to get 21 station tracks into two tracks for the tunnels. |
