No, they are two separate train stations, located in two different places. New York City's Penn Station (there are other Penn Stations in the U.S.) is located at West 33rd to 34th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues.

Grand Central Station and Terminal is located at East 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. Grand Central Station is the subway station, where you can get the 4-5-6 (the dark green line), the 7 (the purple line) or the S shuttle train to Times Square. Grand Central Terminal is the railroad terminal for non-subway trains running in and out of New York City.

No. Penn Station is in New York City, and the 30th Street Station is in Philadelphia.

It's easy to confuse the two, for a couple of reasons: first, Penn Station runs from West 31st to West 34th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. So, since Penn Station is located near West 30th Street in Manhattan, people think, "30th Street Station" must be the same as "Penn Station."

The other confusing thing, of course, is that Penn Station is short for Pennsylvania Station, even though it is NOT located in Pennsylvania.

Which subway do you take from Penn Station to the Bronx?

You have several options. Which one to choose depends upon which part of the Bronx you are going to. See the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map.Option 1: The 2 trainYou can take the Uptown 2 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) straight from 34th Street-Penn Station to the Bronx.Option 2: The 5 trainTake the Uptown 2 train from 34th Street-Penn Station to 3rd Avenue-149th Street, and transfer there to the Uptown 5train.Option 3: The 4 or 5 trainsTake the Uptown 2 train from 34th Street-Penn Station to 149th Street-Grand Concourse, and transfer there to the Uptown 4 or 5.Option 4: The 6 trainTransfer is not available from the 2 train to the 6 train, so if the 6 train is the closest train to your destination, then you will have to take the Uptown 2train from 34th Street-Penn Station to 149th Street-Grand Concourse, and transfer there to the Downtown 4 or 5. Take the Downtown 4 or 5 to 125th Street in Manhattan, and transfer at 125th Street to the Uptown 6train.You could also take the Uptown 1-2-3, one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square, and transfer there to the S shuttle train (color grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd). Then, either transfer at Grand Central to the Uptown 6(which is a local train) or transfer to the Uptown 4 or 5 express trains to 125th Street, and then transfer at 125th Street to the Uptown 6.Although the first option requires you to go Uptown, then Downtown, then back Uptown again, it will still probably take less time than the second option. The 6 is a local train, so there are many, many stops from Grand Central Station to the Bronx. As mentioned above, you can transfer at Grand Central to the Uptown 4 and 5 express trains to 125th, and then transfer at 125th to the Uptown 6. But then you'll have to make three transfers. The first option requires you to make only two transfers.Option 5: The B or D trainsTake the Uptown A or C trains (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to 59th Street-Columbus Circle, and transfer there to the Uptown Bor D trains (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line).


What is the price for a cab from Penn Station to the American Museum of Natural History?

It's about a $10 to $12 cab ride, not including tip and extra fees (such as the $1 surcharge between 4 and 8 PM on weekdays).But you really don't need to take a taxi. Getting there by subway from Penn Station is very, very easy.You take the Uptown C train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from Penn Station (34th Street) to 81st Street. The 81st Street & Central Park West Station comes out right in front of the museum. In fact, the walls of the 81st Street & Central Park West Station are covered with tile murals of dinosaurs and other animals, so it's really easy not to miss your stop, seeing as the train passes right by the murals.To get back, you take the same train -- the C -- but Downtown this time.


How much is parking fees for parking at Penn Station Baltimore MD?

The going rate for parking at the garage at Penn Station is a max of $12 per day. The monthly rate is $200 but there is a long waiting list. I have found private business offered outside parking within a couple of blocks of Penn Station around $125 monthly. There's also a 24/7 public parking garage across the street from Mt. Royal Station at The Fitzgerald. While not as close as the Penn Station garage, it has the same $12 max daily rate & it's monthly rate is only $130.
