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
