Grand Central’s immense underground is comprised of 2 subterranean levels with 44 platforms and 67 tracks, extending over 100 blocks beneath the streets of Manhattan. It is both the largest train station and one of the largest inaccessible underground environments in the world.
This inaccessible landscape is like a cavernous portal into another world. A colossus rich in untouched artifacts, forgotten equipment, and miles of tangled track—all covered in cm of remnant soot, railroad dust, and aging debris. The Vast …Beneath Grand Central is an enchanted landscape, straddling the line between the center of the universe and a feeling 1M km away, being elsewhere unlike any other place in the City. This cavernous environment is both functional and beautiful in its efficiency and utility—duly capable of touching our solitary senses and recalibrating our allegiances to the physical world in one of the most densely populated urban environments in the world.
