Just a quick correction: It's actually an M7A. M7s are the LIRR varient.

I'd like to add regarding the Grand Central ceiling, that even though all the constellations are now where they should be, Orion is reversed! Although he’s placed in the correct location, the constellation itself is backwards! Which means that on the ceiling itself, which was projected backwards, he’s the only constellation whose stars are oriented correctly! The tracks between Grand Central and Harlem-125th Street were built under Park Ave, but the underground section wasn't always underground nor was Harlem-125th Street always on an elevated viaduct, and the reason Park Ave is called Park Ave has to do with the tracks! When the New York and Harlem Railroad built its tracks there in the 1830s (the New York and Harlem Railroad built the first streetcar in the US), the ROW was actually at GROUND-level, forcing foot and carriage traffic onto either side of the tracks! When it was realized in such a crowded place like Manhattan, this was a terrible solution, the railroad was then run through an open cut tunnel, which was then covered with grates and grass between 34th and 40th Street in the early 1850s, thus Park Ave! This tunnel between 34th and 40th was later used exclusively by streetcars in 1871 but is now just a car tunnel. The Harlem Railroad was later incorporated into the New York Central Railroad, and Grand Central opened in 1871, and because of all the grade crossings between Grand Central and Harlem like in East Midtown, they chose to put the trains in both a tunnel and an elevated viaduct in the 1870s. For Harlem-125th Street, the original station on ground level opened in 1844, was replaced in 1874 with one on the viaduct, but then it was rebuilt again in the 1890s, with a design by Morgan O'Brien, New York Central and Hudson River Railroad principal architect.

Snacking happy at Grand Central!❤ Nice looking seats on that train.

[@arsenicCatnip413]

eh the seats were alright, not enough leg room in my opinion.

[@Earthshaker1965]

@@arsenicCatnip413 Yes, I had noticed that when you gave them the squeeze test....lol. I like the look of the seats, even though I see that they're not the most comfortable.
