Nice.This is an excellent example of how technology changed over the years. The old GC became obsolete.. And added significantly to the air pollution problem in the New York city area. It also divided the Eastside of Manhattan from the Western area because of the open train shed. Incredibly as it sounds, the entire shed was built over with a platform, that stretches for blocks east and west, north and south. The old station replaced with the marvel we have today. The Only way one can tell that they are standing on the platform, are air vents on the sidewalks on side streets, and seismic plates running across sections east and west. Absolutely amazing. The buildings are not floating On the platform, but Through, to soild rock.. Via steel solider beams, huge support girders. The same approach the Creator of Madison Square Garden used to build over the very active Pennsylvania Station. Penn Station sucks when compared to GC.. But is the better of the two, because it provides dual services via East and West.. And even from the north via Amtrak, and the NJ Transit football specials. GC only travels north, and only has commuter services. A connection between the two stations should have been built, and is still possible with the Gateway tunnels plugging into the lower levels, or even the LIRR tunnels. Only time will tell. |
