Grand Central’s birth was the result of a tragic accident. On January 8, 1902, a commuter train traveling from suburban Westchester County crashed into another train waiting in the station’s entrance tunnel killing 15 passengers. An inquiry revealed that the noxious clouds emanating from the steam engines had blinded it’s drivers thus resulting in the accident. Sensing the shift in the political winds the Vanderbilt family announced plans to construct a new state of the art station that would utilize electricity not steam. The station was completed in February 1, 1913. Today, it is one of the most visited tourist attractions garnering over 23 million visitors a year. #details
