Here's an item which I thought was appropriate given that Grand Central Terminal's Centennial celebration has begun. What we have here is artwork commisioned to commemorate the delivery of New York Central's fleet of ACMU cars. Trains consisting of the new equipment are shown exiting and entering the Park Avenue Tunnel at 96th Street. The construction of GCT was part of a larger project of which the electrification of this segment of the railroad was a key component. Look closely and you can see the New York Central reaching for the sky many blocks down Park Avenue...no Pan Am Building to ruin this view.
