Union Station in Toronto has the same issue with narrow platforms— if people were waiting on the platforms to get on, there'd be no room for anyone to get off the trains.

In the New Jersey direction you have a higher chance of encountering a train with passengers on it, because they use Sunnyside Yard in Queens for this purpose, but the yard is often at capacity or the tunnels leading to them are, so those trains may need to turn around in Penn instead.
