Pennsylvania Station NY City

Remember when the LIRR Concourse at Penn Station looked like this (photo right)? As warm as the station is today during the summer months, it used to be warmer! Until the entire LIRR terminal in New York was rebuilt in the mid 1990's, there was no air conditioning at all! When this photo was taken on a winter day in the mid-1980's, everybody was dressed to stay warm, and nobody was thinking about those hot summer days ahead. Photo/Archive: Jay Bendersky
