Grand Central Terminal (GCT)
is a commuter (and former intercity) railroad terminal at 42nd Street
and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, United States.
Built by and named for the New York Central Railroad in the heyday of
American long-distance passenger rail travel, it covers 48 acres (19 ha)
and has 44 platforms, more than any other railroad station in the
world.
Its platforms, all below ground, serve 41 tracks on the upper level and
26 on the lower, though the total number of tracks along platforms and
in rail yards exceeds 100.
Main concurse
The
Main Concourse is the center of Grand Central. The space is cavernous –
275 ft (84 m) long, 120 ft (37 m) wide and 125 ft (38 m) high:74
– and usually filled with bustling crowds. The ticket booths are in the
Concourse, although many now stand unused or have been repurposed since
the introduction of ticket vending machines. The large American flag
was hung in Grand Central Terminal a few days after the September 11
attacks on the World Trade Center.
The main information booth is in the center of the concourse. This is a
perennial meeting place, and the four-faced clock on top of the
information booth is perhaps the most recognizable icon of Grand
Central. The clock, designed by Henry Edward Bedford and cast in
Waterbury Connecticut, is made from brass.
