Pennsylvania Station, New York - Pennsylvania Station New York, which is considered to be the busiest railroad station in the United States, covers an area of 7.5 acres, and is located on Seventh Avenue, extending from Seventh Avenue to Eighth Avenue and from 31st to 33rd Streets. The underground facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad at this location cover a total area of 28 acres, extending from midway between Seventh and Sixth Avenues west to Tenth Avenue. Trains enter the station from the West and the South through two single track tunnels under the Hudson River and from Long Island and New England points through four single-track tunnels under the East River. Designed by Stanford White of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. Pennsylvania Station was inspired by the great building of ancient Rome including particularly the baths of Caracalla, of Titus and Diocletian and the Basilica of Constantine. The exterior of the building is of Milford granite and is generally in the classic Doric style. The interior, with its Ionic and Corinthian columns contains much, Travertine marble quarried near Tivoli, Italy. This station was opened on September 8, 1910 when Long Island Rail Road trains started to operate in and out of the building. Pennsylvania railroad trains started operation from the station on November 27, 1910. About 650 trains arrive at and depart from Pennsylvania Station during each 24 hour period. During 1960 the total number of passengers arriving at and departing from the station was 55,923,616.
