Additionally, the MTA, with NJ Transit and Amtrak, plans to seek federal funding to rebuild Penn Station into a “world-class, single-level” facility. That money is funding more than 100 projects, among which are startup of service to Grand Central Madison, construction of a more spacious LIRR Concourse at Penn Station and a new entrance at 33rd Street, renewal and upgrading of 36 stations and 17 bridges, activation of Positive Train Control, installation of 13 miles of second main line track between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma, upgrades to 15 electrical substations, parking capacity increases and yard expansions. The LIRR Main Line Expansion Project is part of a $17.7 billion investment to transform and modernize the Long Island Rail Road.
