You can fortunately visit an homage to Penn Station in Ottawa. Ottawa's old Union Station survives as the government conference centre. It was scheduled for demolition to "clean up" the downtown in time for Canada's 100th birthday in 1967 but luckily survived.
The waiting room was modelled on Penn Station.

Ottawa Union:
Ottawa is not exact, and it is much, much smaller. Still, if you get a chance to see it... You can also sit on one of those benches at the Museum of Science and Tech beside CNR 6100, one of the largest steam locomotives preserved in Canada.
