Check Out These Vintage Cross Section Diagrams of Grand Central Terminal

2021-07-19T12:00:00-04:00

These vintage renderings show a cross section of Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. It is not entirely accurate though, as redditor andrewjw comments:

The first picture shows the Hudson Manhattan Tubes - what is now PATH - on a level between what is now the 456 and what is now the 7, but PATH definitely didn't get extended to Grand Central in reality. Also, neither shows ESA and it was not proposed for decades after this. The lower level here is the existing lower level at Grand Central. Originally the upper level was for long distance trains and the lower level was for commuters. The third level of trackage in Grand Central, below the commuter level, is a yard which has been partially demolished to make way for the passenger concourses leading to ESA, which is much deeper than anything shown in this cutaway.

Here's What New York City Would Look Like Under 100 Feet of Water

2019-07-08T11:00:00-04:00

Spatialities is a blog that creates maps of well known areas as they would look under varying amounts of rising sea water. Scientists around the globe have concluded that the Earth's ocean levels are rising faster than ever before and this is a great way to visualize that in order to spur global climate policy change. The 100' level however, is probably a millennia away so no need to get your goggles out just yet.

This map features a humorous re-naming of the City's neighborhoods, but you can get the map without place names if you don't want to hear about Coral Gardens or the Upper West Tide.

Cutaway America: See New York City's Landmarks as You've Never Seen Them Before

2019-07-05T11:00:00-04:00

The team at Angie's List recently created these great renderings of New York City landmarks, shown in a way you've never seen them before. They found the detailed plans of the Statue of Liberty, Radio City Music Hall, and Lower Manhattan cross-river tunnel network and made a cross-section of them, allowing us to do a side-by-side comparison with the original. Check it out below to play with the comparison tool we built and see the cross-sections for yourself.

When you open up our most famous buildings, they prove to be more than just a pretty face. And we got so curious about the ones we’re used to seeing from the outside, we decided to do just that: open them up.

Statue of Liberty

Radio City Music Hall

Lower Manhattan Tunnels
