Murphy Siding: Your post of 1910 opening of the great Penn Station in NYC…I wonder how many on here remember it…and was in it or passed through it and got a look at it…It was a grand cathedral like structure…I had the opportunity to pass through it twice in August 1942 and my memory is still vivid of it…What a shame it was destroyed.
That was way before my time [:)], I’m a 1960 model.
