I recently watched a documentary of the rise and fall of Penn station. It talked about how Alexander Cassatt brought his dream to life and built the two railways connecting Pennsylvania to New York City. It also talked about the amazing monument that was built for that railroad called Penn Station, and how it was brought to the ground in 1963.
FUN FACT!
Did you know that when when building tunnels underneath the Hudson River, they started the tunneling on each side of the river. Then, the tunnels met in the middle. The estimation of where the tunnels would meet was off by only one sixteenth of an inch!
