Penn Station has 21 tracks fed by seven tunnels, including its two North River Tunnels, four East River Tunnels, and one Empire Connection tunnel. It is at the center of the Northeast Corridor, a passenger rail line that connects New York City with Boston to its north and Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. to its south, along with various intermediate stations. Intercity trains are operated by Amtrak, which owns the station, while commuter rail services are operated by the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and NJ Transit (NJT). Connections are available within the complex to the New York City Subway and buses.

Penn Station is named for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), its builder and original owner, and shares its name with several stations in other cities. The original Pennsylvania Station was an ornate station building designed by McKim, Mead, and White and considered a masterpiece of the Beaux-Arts style. Completed in 1910, it enabled direct rail access to New York City from the south for the first time. Its head house and train shed were torn down in 1963 at a time of low train ridership, with the rail infrastructure reconstituted as the smaller underground station that survives today. The New York Times editorial board described the demolition of the original station as a "monumental act of vandalism",[7] and its destruction galvanized the modern historic preservation movement.[8]

The 2020s saw the opening of Moynihan Train Hall, an expansion of Penn Station into the Farley Post Office building,[9] as well as expansion of the LIRR concourse and a new direct entrance from 33rd Street to the LIRR concourse.[10] Further plans call for adding railway platforms in a new southern annex to connect to two new Gateway Program tunnels under the Hudson River,[11] adding underground connections to the Herald Square station and with the PATH to the 33rd Street station,[12] and renovating the core Penn Station under Madison Square Garden.[13]
