The trick with NY Penn is to just go down to the NJ transit level. Same platforms. No lines.

Could you expand on this a bit? Might be traveling via Amtrak soon to/from Penn and would like to make the experience a bit smoother. I've been on NJT once before but didn't notice anything about Amtrak on those platforms.

They turned off the displays on that level that used to show the Amtrak track numbers, so now you have to wait upstairs and then go down.

On the NJT screens too? Amtrack track assignments still show on the DepartureVision web site.
