Explain then what are the tubes in the middle? Surely that is the ESA with its 8 tracks and its mezzanine passing between the upper and lower platforms as depicted on diagrams of the project. That leads me to believe that the lowest tracks are for a new HSR rail station (which has been proposed before for Amtrak's new HSR plan) that would link Penn to GCT and onward toward New England. However, this has since been dropped from the current HSR plan. It could also be a commuter tunnel to Penn station for New Jersey Transit trains.
