<h2>Grand Central history</h2>
The New York Central Railroad granted Grand Central Terminal its name back in the early 1900s when it was just a steam railroad station. The station was constructed to connect the Hudson River Railroad, the New York and Harlem Railroad, and the New York and New Haven Railroad. The plans for Grand Central began with Cornelius Vanderbilt in the late 1860s. He envisioned the three railroads uniting at a single station, so he hired John B. Snook to design his vision at the site of the 42nd Street depot.
On Sept. 1, 1869, construction began, and it was finished just over two years later. By 1897, the station was very successful and helped more than <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11.5 million</a> passengers reach their destinations annually.
About 30 years later, other investors proposed updates to the structure, which resulted in a complete rebuild. They began building the new Grand Central Terminal on June 19, 1903, and it opened for business again about a decade later. Grand Central Terminal’s success increased population and economic development in the area. In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal#History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1947</a>, more than 65 million travelers passed through the station.
More improvements have been made even in the last several decades. On Feb. 1, 2013, the station celebrated one hundred years of operation. “For one hundred years, Grand Central Terminal has been one of the preeminent symbols of New York City and a world famous architectural treasure,” according to the Grand Central Partnership <a href="https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/grand-central-terminal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.
Today, Grand Central Terminal houses not only the MTA Metro-North Railroad and subway station (lines 4, 5, 6, 7, and S) but also features fine dining, shopping, and activities. After Times Square, Grand Central is the most often visited location in New York City. In fact, more than <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">750,000</a> people come to Grand Central every day.
So what’s the future of this iconic transportation hub and the surrounding neighborhood? The new challenge for Grand Central is to ensure it continues serving New York City’s growing and changing transportation needs for many years into the future. Currently, developers are working on opening to <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Long Island</a> commuters. That means that soon Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains will help commuters get from Long Island to Manhattan’s East Side via Grand Central Terminal. This service, which is expected to benefit approximately 162,000 LIRR commuters, “also will establish connections between the LIRR and Metro-North Lines, as well as linking Grand Central to the JFK Airport via the AirTrain through Jamaica Station in Queens,” according to the <a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand Central Terminal</a> website. The Long Island Rail terminal will operate underground about 140 feet below Park Avenue.

On Feb. 1, 2013, the station celebrated one hundred years of operation. “For one hundred years, Grand Central Terminal has been one of the preeminent symbols of New York City and a world famous architectural treasure,” according to the Grand Central Partnership <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/grand-central-terminal">website</a>.
Today, Grand Central Terminal houses not only the MTA Metro-North Railroad and subway station (lines 4, 5, 6, 7, and S) but also features fine dining, shopping, and activities. After Times Square, Grand Central is the most often visited location in New York City. In fact, more than <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/about/">750,000</a> people come to Grand Central every day.
So what’s the future of this iconic transportation hub and the surrounding neighborhood? The new challenge for Grand Central is to ensure it continues serving New York City’s growing and changing transportation needs for many years into the future. Currently, developers are working on opening to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/">Long Island</a> commuters. That means that soon Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains will help commuters get from Long Island to Manhattan’s East Side via Grand Central Terminal. This service, which is expected to benefit approximately 162,000 LIRR commuters, “also will establish connections between the LIRR and Metro-North Lines, as well as linking Grand Central to the JFK Airport via the AirTrain through Jamaica Station in Queens,” according to the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/history/">Grand Central Terminal</a> website. The Long Island Rail terminal will operate underground about 140 feet below Park Avenue.
