When you take the train into Penn Station, you can see that the rails are already in place beneath the building, but its the large opening just before where Brookfield plans to build the huge Manhattan West complex. My only (small) regret is that it will block out that one peek of actual daylight that signals you are about to enter Penn Station. However, plans called for some daylight to actually reach the platforms below, so we'll see.
