    I recently read a newspaper article that said Amtrak runs 1100 trains a day into Penn Station.
    Is this possible??????? That sounds kinda steep for even penn Station!

    I'm just guessing, but it could be that an uninformed reporter combined all the Long Island and New Jersey Transit commuter trains under the heading "Amtrak".

    Hey, they all run on rails, right? :D

    Penn Station is owned by Amtrak and is dispatched by Amtrak, so in that sense they "run" the trains. :cool:

    I have to agree with the fact that 3 railroads use Penn Station. It must be the TOTAL number of all 3.
