Is there an official map of Penn Station?

There is no single official map covering the whole complex — Amtrak, NJ Transit, the LIRR, and Moynihan Train Hall each publish maps of their own areas. The schematic on this page shows how the pieces fit together: Moynihan Train Hall between 8th and 9th Avenues, the underground concourses between 7th and 8th, and the shared 21-track platform level beneath everything.

Are Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall on the same map?

Yes — they're two buildings over the same tracks. Moynihan Train Hall is across 8th Avenue from the original underground station, and both connect below street level to the same 21 platforms. Any train can be boarded from either side; the choice is about which building is closer to you and which railroad's amenities you want.

Penn Station Map

New York Penn Station is really three connected pieces — Moynihan Train Hall, the underground concourses, and one shared platform level — spread across two full city blocks. Here's the map that makes it click, level by level.

The Layout at a Glance

Penn Station & Moynihan — Schematic Layout

Not to scale. Shows relative positions of entrances, concourses, and track groups.

The key thing the map shows: every track is reachable from both buildings. Moynihan Train Hall (left) and the original underground station (right) sit over the same 21 tracks, so your ticket never requires one building or the other. Which entrance saves you the most walking depends on your railroad and destination — our which-entrance wizard answers that in two taps.

What's on Each Level

The plan view above flattens the part that actually disorients people: Penn Station is stacked, not spread out. Here's the same complex sliced vertically, west to east:

Penn Station — Cross-Section (West to East)

Not to scale. Shows how the levels stack and connect between 9th and 7th Avenues.

Street level

Entrances on 7th Avenue, 8th Avenue, 31st Street, 33rd Street, and West 34th Street. Moynihan Train Hall occupies the full block between 8th and 9th Avenues; the original station sits underground between 7th and 8th, beneath Madison Square Garden.

Moynihan Train Hall (one level down)

The skylit hall serves Amtrak and LIRR riders: Amtrak ticketing, the Metropolitan Lounge, the food hall, and escalators straight down to every track. Open 5 AM–1 AM.

Upper concourse (7th Ave side)

The main NJ Transit and Amtrak concourse under Madison Square Garden, with the big departure boards, ticket machines, and most shops. Connects west to Moynihan and east to the 7th Avenue subway lines (1, 2, 3).

LIRR concourse (lower level)

One more level down: the Long Island Rail Road's east–west corridor, recently widened and brightened, with its own boards and direct stairs to every platform. Connects to the 8th Avenue subway lines (A, C, E).

Platform level (deepest)

All 21 tracks sit on one shared level beneath everything else — every railroad boards from the same platforms, which is why the same train can be reached from Moynihan or the concourses. Track numbers group by railroad; see the schematic below.

Wondering which track your train leaves from? Tracks are posted just minutes before boarding — our track assignments guide explains the system (and how regulars predict their track early). For a full walkthrough of entrances, transfers, and step-free routes, see the NYC Penn Station navigation guide— and if you're connecting to Metro-North, here's how to get to Grand Central.

Penn Station on the City Map

The complex occupies the blocks bounded by 7th Avenue, 9th Avenue, 31st Street, and 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan — directly under and west of Madison Square Garden, three blocks south of Times Square's edge and one block west of Herald Square.
