Andy Byford reportedly considers the renovation Penn Station as a “golden opportunity” to make a significant change in railway services that run between New York and New Jersey.

Byford’s leadership could signal a change from parts of Amtrak’s plan, such as possibly ditching the demolition of a city block south of Penn Station to build more NJ Transit tracks.

If approved for the job by the Amtrak board, Andy Byford will take the helm of one of the most high-profile, complex and expensive construction projects in the country.
