   Is this mentioned anywhere on the NJT website?   
      
   On the NJT rail map, Secaucus Jct has Lautenberg's name in fine print, but   
   there isn't any Williams reference at Metro Park.

   On the station guide for Secaucus Jct, there is no mention of Lautenberg:

   As an aside, NJT refers to the New York City station as "Penn Station"   
   although it's really Pennsylvania Station (as all the signs say).  Admittedly,   
   everyone calls it Penn Station.   
      
      
   Also, in the old days, the Pennsylvania RR and Penn Central RR officially   
   referred to 30th St as "Pennsylvania Station, 30th St" or "Penn Central   
   Station, 30th St", although in practice everyone called it 30th St.
