What to expect

Explore the secrets of iconic NY Pennsylvania Station and Grand Central Terminal on a walking tour! Explore how the network operates and learn about some of the technology keeping the NYC Subway, PATH, and the country's three busiest commuter railroads operating.

Understand the history of Penn Station and compare your exact locations with what was originally located there in the famously demolished structure. Uncover remnants and artifacts lost to time from the original Penn Station, and explore the new Moynihan Train Hall while learning about plans for the busiest train station in the country.

Compare Penn Station to Grand Central Terminal, where we will arrive via the subway (exploring subway secrets along the way). Discover Grand Central's secret bar, glass walkways, hidden tennis court, old theater, whispering walls, leaking ceilings, and much more!

Your NYC-born, licensed guide will help you see how the subway and railroads continues to influence the NYC region of 20+ million people, supporting such levels of density and dynamism! A previous NYC transit worker, he is an AICP certified urban planner. He currently works on NYC infrastructure projects and serves on the Board of Young Professionals in Transportation (YPT).
