I told my wife to take the J home, but she still has to get down to Chambers St. I'm still amazed she made it to Lexington Ave. on the E this morning before the deluge began. |

Grand Central Station has been closed, apparently. (4)(5) and (6) trains are bypassing Grand Central - 42 Street in both directions, which according to WWOR, is causing delays up and down the line. The 42nd Street Shuttle has also been suspended. WWOR says that it's a 4-alarm FDNY situation, as they scramble to get men to the scene. |

Dunno, only every sign and timetable in that area says TERMINAL. And there's no service alert on MTA.info. And the bigboard shows trains leaving. So I guess it is the post office and the media got it right. |

From the MTA web site:Posted on:7/18/2007 7:33:22 PM Due to a steam pipe explosion in the vicinity of 41st Street and Lexington Avenue, please expect delays in service on the Midtown buses. In addition, due to a water condition as a result of this morning's thunderstorm, E, F, R, and V service have resumed, with residual delays. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Also, due to a police investigation at Grand Central-42nd Street there is no 4, 5 and 6 service in both directions between the 125th Street Station and the Bowling Green Station. Also, there is no S train service on the entire line and the 7 trains are bypassing the Grand Central-42nd Street Station in both directions. As an alternative, customers are advised to use the 6th Avenue, 7th Avenue, 8th Avenue and Broadway lines. Please expect delays in service on 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains at this time. On the bright side, on Fox 5's 39th Street camera angle, you can now see the M101 bus behind the school bus. |

Most people (non railfans) use Station and Terminal intermingly. Most even use station instead of terminal describing the station. Remember, your average person isn't a railfan, and don't usually know this technical stuff....and yes, it is technical. |

That's true, but lots of people don't know that. Many others don't care. I know that our station is technically called Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal, but everyone including me calls it Union Station. |

I remember those...What do most NY'ers call it? I imagine that they just say Grand Central and leave it at that. If so, that could add to the confusion and explain why some people may not know what comes after that. |

Over the years, yes, I have heard most people call it Grand Central, and that's it. But "GC Station" comes in second. I rarely hear or have heard anyone call it (aside from many here) GC Terminal....aside from seeing it on signs. |

And people wonder why Foamers are checked here and there, and why "aint worth those assholes full-width cabs" are built to "get them out of the loop." :-\"Grand Central" to MOST carbon-based life forms is where most MTA trains terminate, as well as many subways stops that get you there. Only the completely MENTAL care otherwise, alas Pilgrim State got "Geraldo'd." GEEZ! WHO da PHUCK CARES?!?!?! Oh yeah ... those who DO ... MENTAL CASES! :-\ |

Heh, that was the point I was trying to make, your average person don't give a rats ass if it's "Terminal" or "Station", nor do they know what's correct, or even ever thought about it. Most just say "Grand Central", but I think most people know what that means if someone says, "I'm going to grand central station"...Most people will not assume they are going to a post office..... |
