Lionel Trains Grand Central Express Set with RailSounds. One of America"s greatest transportation hubs and one of New York City"s most iconic buildings, Grand Central Terminal is a national institution and an international example of giving new life to an historic building that otherwise would have been destroyed. Over the course of its colorful, tumultuous, nearly 100-year history, Grand Central has become a destination for commuters, visitors and residents alike, boasting restaurants, cocktail lounges, a gourmet market, and numerous specialty shops. Its storied Vanderbilt Hall, once the receiving area for travelers, is now a major public events space. As it celebrates its Centennial in 2013, Grand Central Terminal stands today as one of New York City"s most famous landmarks-from its marble halls, to its priceless Tiffany clock that serves as a favorite meeting place for both New Yorkers and visitors from around the world, and from its singular fa+degreesade adorned with the Roman god Mercury to the evocative view of the stars on its massive interior vault. Yes, it"s beautiful. And yes, it"s historic. But more than a landmark, Grand Central Terminal serves as the irreplaceable heart of New York"s integrated (and integral) transportation system - what keeps the city itself running! Every day 750,000 people pass through its storied hallways. It is a living, breathing monument to public transportation. A testament to the fact that bold ideas, when executed with vigor and precision, can remain as vital and important as they were 100 years ago.
