Moynihan Train Hall

Gilston is proud to have been part of the amazing construction team for New York's new Moynihan Train Hall. The skilled electricians of Gilston helped transform the historic Farley Post Office into a new high-tech concourse of light and color for the western hemisphere's busiest transportation hub.

World Trade Center PATH Station

More than 250,000 pedestrians access the World Trade Center Transportation Hub each day in the PATH Station powered by Gilston Electric. The station is the primary access point to the NJ PATH trains and 11 of New York City’s subway lines and Gilston provided corrosion control systems, traction power systems and signal work for the project.

The Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub

The renowned Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub allowed Gilston Electric the opportunity to light the way for the city’s celebrated rebuild of the World Trade Center site. Gilston worked within the complexities of the Santiago Calatrava-designed structure by furnishing and installing a custom electrical system for the more than 400,000 square-foot Transit Hall, which houses the largest mixed-use shopping complex in Manhattan.

Amtrak Train Shed at Penn Station

More than 650,000 commuters pass through Penn Station each day and Gilston Electric played a key role in upgrading the platforms and mechanical rooms beneath both Penn Station and the new Moynihan Train Hall.

7 Line Subway Extension

For the 7 Line Subway Extension to Hudson Yards, Gilston Electric took on the complicated work of installing power systems for a new underground subway line without disrupting current service.
