When I used to hang around at Indy Union Station, the roads serving it were Pennsylvania, NYC and Monon. However the head house train board still held places for Nickle Plate and Illinois Central in the (hopeless) hope they would return some day.
Newark Penn Station, an overhead station: 6 tracks for Amtrak and New Jersey Transit commuter trains. One inbound, westbound PATH track one level higher, one outbound, eastbound PATH track between two NJT-Amtrak eastbound tracks for convenient transfer. Total eight tracks in overhead station. In basement, below concorse level a multi-track loop for NJT light rail cars operating the Newark Subway. Much of subway line in former Canal bed. Had five lines running into it in my memory, four of which involved street running on outer portions and were replaced with bus connections, but the all PRW line has been extended, serving part of the area that the old Bloomfield subway-surface line served.
In the days when Hudson and Manhattan still was a private company, the Newark rapid transit trains were tuscan red, not the usual H&M dark brown, and west of Journal Square it was a PRR operation. PRR owned half the cars in the Newark service and H&M the other half and they were used interchangeably. The streetcars in the subway dated from around and before WWI. They were replaced by second hand PCC cars from the Twin Cities around 1953 and ran for half a century giving excellent service. Now there are Japanese articulated light rail cars.
Harrison, on the H&M/PATH line is an overhead station, with four express tracks in the middle for Amtrak and NJT and a local track at the platforms on both sides for PATH.
The Newark Station at Broad Street on the former Lackawanna line, now also NJT electric commuter service (Lackawanna’s electrification was 3000v dc overhead, now it is 12,000V 60Hz dc with some through service to Penn Station, Manhattan) is also an overhead station if my memory serves me. Also the stations on that line in Orange.
Thanks to all on this. It looks like most of the still-used stations with overhead tracks are East of the Mississippi (I’ve noted the exceptions). Will make a fun tour.
Chester, PA on the SEPTA R2 Wilmington line is another one. In the 60s and 70s there was a newsstand where Market Street (now called Avenue of the States) forks off Edgmont Avenue. The fork in the street is directly underneath the 4-track wide bridge, as was the newsstand on the sidewalk. Don’t know if the newsstand is still there.

And of course the Amtrak trains to Washington and the south wizz by Chester.
Incidentally, even after WWII for a few years, there was a PTC streetcar line from Chester to Philadelphia. I think it was cut back to a Westinghouse or Western Electric plant in 1947 and a shuttle bus connection established.
