Grand Central Station

Grand Central Grand Central is located on 42nd street at Park Avenue. Built in 1913, the glass-and-steel Grand Central Terminal was an engineering achievement rivaling the Eiffel Tower and Glass Palace of the time. It was revitalized in 1998, and expanded, as part of the rebuilding, with the East Side project in 2015 (connecting the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) Main and Port Washington lines in Queens to a new terminal below Grand Central). Grand Central is a bustling hub with four levels containing 75 tracks and 48 platforms. Security is fairly tight around the clock. IDs are checked when moving between levels, exiting and entering Grand Central, and at each platform. Matrix Access for the trains is through the rails and fed through M-42, the secured power center for the rails as well as the LTG for Midtown. In the evening after the commuters have finished, there is a spike in unmanned security as all of the basic goods and produce that the City needs are brought in via rail. Aztechnology is the primary importer, although corps that don’t utilize the Azzies distribution networks bring in their own trains. > M-42 used to be the power plant for all the electric trains since WWII. Now, while the Power plants have been upgraded, it’s also been refitted for the Matrix to house the components and primary routing networks. Fiber optics connect M-42 to several corporate skyrakers. And I’ve been pestered to say that M-42 is rumored to have a UV Node at the core. > Slamm-0! It has five posh restaurants and many other food and shopping choices. With all the food and shopping available in Grand Central, Prometheus Engineering has spent the last 10 years constructing two more floors below Grand Central, developing the beginnings of Grand Central Arcology. They hope to be able to supplant several of the nearby hotels for tourists by providing accommodations in the heart of the transit terminal.
