I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “train shed” in connection with the present GCT. I think of a train shed as an above-ground structure, arching over station tracks—as, for example, at St. Louis, Indianapolis, or Chicago’s long-gone Grand Central. Is the cavernous two-level track area of GCT really called a train shed?Alan Follett South San Francisco, CA |

There are also the sheds designed by Lincoln Bush, e.g. Hoboken, CNJ Terminal, Toronto Union Station and others. |

Is the cavernous two-level track area of GCT really called a train shed?That distinguished railroading journal, Crain's, says that it is. :) Maybe the MTA used that term in its press release. |

During CPC proceedings involving the replacement of JPMC HQ 270 Parkwith a new skyscraper, that term was used repeatedly, since part of it is under the existing building, and it dictates where certain things can and cannot be in the new one. |

Imagine if the NY Central were permitted to extend its main line all the way to the Battery. Its great arch may have remained extant to this day. (Pipe dream, I know.) |

On top of that, make it a through station with the B&O and CNJ, with trains going into NJ and through to Washington DC and elsewhere. Imagine riding from Albany to DC that way? Might be a less-open view of New York Harbor, but an important landmark in and of itself. |
