On this day (actually tomorrow) 100 years ago,
New York's Grand Central Station (actually Terminal)
officially opened:::::::::::::



I have been through it countless times during my
years living in Manhattan, and it is truly just an
Amazing Place!

Busiest Railroad Terminal in the World, and not
even yet at full capacity :D
