The History Of Transport
In New York
Almost 200 years ago, the first rail line into New York City was laid and since then, the rail has played an important role in the transportation of people throughout this massive city. Throughout the years, the rail continued to grow and connect destination after destination together, making the world a smaller place and making travel more convenient. By the latter part of the 1800's, New York was on a roll and destinations still considered magnificent today were created including Snooks Depot, and Madison Square Garden. In 1913, Grand Central Terminal officially opened and New York City was changed forever. Today, more than 700,000 people pass through this magnificent destination each and every day. An important part of the transportation of NYC, it is also a top destination for visitors as well.
