Making the Connection: Moving Forward on Regional Rail

6:00 PM EDT on September 13, 2006

Wednesday, September 13, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Opening Reception
Making the Connection: Moving Forward on Regional Rail
The Municipal Art Society
457 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10022

With four railway systems serving three states from two Manhattan terminals, the New York metropolitan region lacks a comprehensive, interconnected rail network. This exhibit of maps, photographs and renderings proposes connecting Grand Central Terminal and Moynihan Station to transform commuter rail lines into a regional rail system.

Reservations are encouraged. RSVP to rsvp@mas.org or 212-935-2075.

On view Thursday, September 7 through Wednesday, November 8
