Grand Central Station's bird's-eye view shows the terminal from above, with its tracks, platforms and street approaches laid out like a working diagram. The building was a major project of the New York Central Railroad, and its layout was designed to separate suburban and long-distance trains onto different levels, a feature that set it apart from older stations of the era. Drawings like this one were often made to explain a complex rail hub to investors, city officials and the public, and they remain useful for seeing how the tracks and streets around the terminal fit together.
