Moynihan Train Hall
MOYN-ih-han TRAYN HAWL
Local meaning
The modern train hall in the Farley building across Eighth Avenue from the older Penn Station concourses.
Moynihan is the primary Amtrak hall in New York and also provides access for Long Island Rail Road passengers. It shares Penn Station tracks and the NYP station identity, so a ticket saying New York Penn does not mean the train stops at a separate Moynihan station.
Example in context
- “Meet me under the skylight in Moynihan Train Hall.”
