Album Info:Here is a two-page article entitled "50th Anniversary: New York Tunnels And Pennsylvania Station."

"The station was opened to the public on September 8, 1910, when passenger trains began running between Pennsylvania Station and Long Island, using the new tubes built under the East River. But the really big day was November 27, 1910, when the tubes on the other side of Manhattan ~ under the Hudson River ~ went into service. For the first time, PRR trains could run directly into the heart of Manhattan, linking America's business center with the rest of the continent." (Pages 20-21)
