Learn about Grand Central’s long history of expansion, culminating in its most recent addition, Grand Central Madison, on this walking tour. Grand Central is ever evolving to meet the mass transit needs of an endlessly growing population. Hosting Metro-North Railroad, the Long Island Rail Road, and New York City’s subway system, the landmark has been built in stages, becoming a massive network of tracks and trains.

As always everyone is welcome to join. This tour provides a deep dive, thus is best suited for those who have some knowledge of New York City transit.
