Getting the subway stations at Grand Central up to my website is something I’ve been trying to finish for quite a long time. It was one of those stations that two years ago I had mostly written but then got frustrated with trying to figure out the exact entrances to the Lexington Avenue station. This was quite confusing to me until I finally figured out that the station isn’t on the usual north-south axis with the New York Street grid but an angle as the line transitions from running beneath Park Avenue South to Lexington Avenue. This update also only contains two-year old 2011 and earlier photos. The reason for this is because of issues with my Aperture library getting to big for my computer, something I have since resolved, but I still have quite a lot of photos to sort and process. This, combined with a few hard drive issues thrown in (one I’ve found a fix for the other I haven’t, does anyone know how I can get the data off a hard drive with stripped metal in the USB port), made me realize that it was impossible to get every photo I have of Grand Central and to why not just finish the section I started two years ago instead of wasting tons of time trying to find every last photo.
Without further ado here are the photo essays (so far) of the three subway platforms at 42 Street Grand Central:
- 42 Street Shuttle–(51 Photos, plus 20 of artwork)
- Lexington Avenue Line (4,5,6)–(67 Photos)
- Steinway Tunnels/Flushing Line (7)–(27 Photos plus 12 of the artwork)
Enjoy!
One reply on “The Grand Central Subway Station is here (only with 2011 and earlier photos)”
Thanks for sharing these pictures. I’ve been waiting for a long time to see these. Looking forward to seeing the Metro North area!
Also, the section for the 7 train has the copy for the Shuttle page. You might want to fix that when you get a chance.
