The next sentence afterwards is a monstrosity:

"But, I explained to my work colleagues as the Princeton local pulled out from platform eight and late-arriving passengers swished up through the carriages in search of empty seats, both the original Penn Station and its unlovely modern spawn were seen at their creation as great feats of engineering."

I had to highlight between the commas to get through that one.

It seems growing up with German is a great preparation for such sentences :)

These complaints about Penn station are also a well-worn cliché.
