Transit Museum

 

The transit museum was interesting I was able to see photographs of the grand central landmarks. The image of men and women walking down the street where the process of grand central was on the scale of being built. construction on the terminal of where men and women walked down the street and the dust of asbestos being inhaled was a major health factor. The photography of the photographs was amazing, just the clarity of the photos in my opinion is well defined and sharp.

I was able to see the blueprint of grand central terminal and the the notes on how every detail should be put into placed. Trolley trains and horse and carriage was the form of transportation that were in most of the images I viewed. What also caught my eye is the architecture of the building and the craftsman ship it took to build the buildings. Overall i learned some history when i was in the archive museum and i also enjoyed visiting the transit museum and was able to see the older model train and the history behind the story. This was a very educational experience that i was glad to be apart of.
