Perhaps we should not exclude surviving artifacts within Penn Station proper, including MM&W staircases and enclosures. Several survive to the LI Concourse level and one, 5W, to the main Concourse level. These are all vulnerable to admittedly well-intentioned "upgrades." Other in-situ items include concealed columns in the LI Ticket Area, glass block floors on the LI Platform landing, and portions of the taxi drives.

A large collection of artifacts was identified for relocation in Moynihan Station during the construction documentation by SOM and HHPA in 2001. Are they still all accounted for?
