| | | | Port Authority Trans-Hudson: Encyclopedia II - Transportation in the United States - Rail Passenger trains were formerly a dominant mode of transportation, up until the mid-twentieth century. Declining profits for the privately-run passenger routes drove the nationalization of passenger rail service, and the creation of Amtrak in 1971. Service in most parts of the country is limited; most major cities are served, but, especially in parts of the west, by only one or two trains per day. More frequent service is available in regional corridors between major cities, particularly the Northeast Corridor between Washington, DC and Boston, around Ch ...

Pennsylvania Station New York City - Enabling.
Penn Station is named for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), its builder and original tenant. There could have been no Penn Station in New York City until the Pennsylvania Railroad's rails reached Manhattan.
