Detailed Description:

Designed by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead and White, Newark Penn Station is an historic Art Deco-era multi-modal facility which, in addition to the City Subway, supports New Jersey Transit commuter rail, Amtrak long distance trains, the PATH rapid-transit line to New York City, and local, regional and national bus services. The station and land are leased on a long-term basis to New Jersey Transit. The current building was dedicated on March 23, 1935, and replaced a smaller structure; the first regular train to use it was a New York-Philadelphia express at 10:17 on March 24, 1935. Newark Penn Station is a historic landmark that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
