Pennsylvania Station (Newark)

The Pennsylvania Station in Newark (also known as Newark Penn Station), located in the U.S. state of New Jersey, is next to Newark Airport Station and Newark Broad Street Station one of the main railway stations of the city.

On 23 March 1935, the partnership designed by the architects McKim, Mead, and White Station, which had a smaller predecessor, opened to traffic. Stylistically, it represents a mixture of Art Deco and Neo-Classicism

The station was planned as one of the hubs of the former U.S. Railroad Company Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR ). From here, passengers will get to Penn Station in New York City. Since 1937, the transition to the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H &M; now PATH) is possible, which goes to Lower Manhattan. The former transfer station for H & M, Manhattan Transfer, thereby lost its function.

Today, Newark Penn Station is served, inter alia, of the U.S. rail company Amtrak and is a stopover on the North - East corridor so-called. However, the largest passenger volume comes from commuters. Three regional suburban railway lines, the regional transport company NJ Transit meet here together ( Raritan Valley Line, Northeast Corridor Line and North Jersey Coast Line). In addition to the transit traffic to the PATH system and the shift to road and metro Newark is possible.
