# Pennsylvania Terminal, N.Y. - "Where to?" This page satirizes the Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal in New York City, depicting the confusion of arriving travelers. The "Where to?" section shows various figures labeled with destinations: Saratoga, Rome, Salt Lake City, Washington, Boston, Denver, Chicago, and Bishkops (likely Bishopville or similar). The joke targets the bewilderment of terminal visitors—each person represents a different traveler heading to different destinations, embodying the chaos and disorientation of the modern transportation hub. Supporting vignettes show related terminal scenes: "the driveway," "Bye-bye!" (departures), taxi service, a "Groom" (likely a hotel porter), and crowded waiting areas. The satire reflects early 20th-century anxieties about urban transportation infrastructure and the overwhelming experience of mass transit for ordinary travelers.
