I can't imagine you could build it in NY with scabbies, so you'd have to figure union. But on the bright side the calculation ought to allow for power equipment ratherthan rope and horses.

Union wages vs non orignally?

I would find out the original cost, which must have been published somewhere where you can find it, and find out what sort of inflation has occurred to 1906 costs. To estimate the cost from the drawings, if you had them, would be nuts.
 
Now you can tell me why this procedure is NFG.

If this guy doesn't like hearing about how bad the new 50 year old Penn Station is, he should come see for himself.

So, how would you actually get an intelligent eyeball budget for reconstructing the original Penn Station - stone and all?    
 
From a recent Facebook post:
 

Wow. Am I tired of hearing how bad Madison Square Garden and the "new" Penn Station are.** So, why don't we just rebuild the station, sans jardin, and stop jabbering about it?  Just what would it cost to rebuild the "good" Penn Station? What would a cost estimator need? Would, say, $100 million do it?
