34th Street – Penn Station is an express station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of 34th Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, and adjacent to Pennsylvania Station. Pennsylvania Station is the busiest railroad station in the United States and a major transfer point to Amtrak, New Jersey Transit and the Long Island Rail Road.

This underground station opened on September 10, 1932, as part of the initial segment of the Independent Subway System, at the time comprising what is now the IND Eighth Avenue Line from Chambers Street to 207th Street.It is served by the A and E trains at all times, and by the C train at all times except late nights.

There are four tracks, two side platforms, and one island platform. The two side platforms serve the C and E local trains. The A also uses these platforms late nights, when it runs local. Other times, it runs express and uses the center island platform. Atlantic Avenue – Barclays Center on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line and 34th Street – Penn Station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line are the only other stations in the system with this configuration.
