South Station in Boston had one until it was torn down in 1930. I think Pittsburgh might have one as well.

South Station in Boston had an arch shed, now long gone. LaSalle Street Station in Chicago had one, later replaced by standard platform sheds. Grand Central Station in Chicago, the B&O terminal, had one throughout its history. The original Milwaukee Road station in its hometown was arched, as was the C&NW station in Milwaukee. The arch of the Milwaukee Road Station still exists in Minneapolis.

Pennsy's Broad Street Station in Philadelphia had an enormous arched train shed that was destroyed by fire. Grand Central Station in New York City once had an arched roof train shed as well. I'm not sure what Penn Station's train shed looked like, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was likewise arched.

Would this be a run to CH or Doylestown?

Penn Station never had a shed. It was always beneath ground. There are a few early photos of the west end of the station being open to the sky before the Post Office was built above the tracks, but there was never a shed.

I have a lot of good memories from this place. Thanks for sharing.
