A fantastic drawing of Grand Central Station by a fellow named Carl Hsiung. It is on display at the New York Transit Museum along with other interpretative drawings commemorating the famous train station.
Transportation architecture tends to fall into two categories: Excellent or Dismal Junk. There are a few middle-of-the-road facilities, like Logan airport, but it has more Dismal Junk moments than Excellent (I like the pedestrian walkways that connect the terminals to the parking garage). Grand Central may be a timeless building in that it will be functional and beautiful for as long as we care to maintain it. Sort of like the old Penn. Station.
