Grand Central celebrates 100 years

The interior of the Grand Central Station is seen with the sun streaming through the window in New York in this undated handout photo. It made its debut in the heyday of cross-country train travel, faced demolition in the era of the auto, and got a new lease on life with a facelift in its eighth decade. Now Grand Central Terminal, the doyenne of American train stations, is celebrating its 100th birthday. Opened on Feb 2, 1913, when trains were a luxurious means of traveling across America, the iconic New York landmark with its Beaux-Arts facade is an architectural gem, and still one of America's greatest transportation hubs.

Commuters move through the grand hall of Grand Central Terminal in New York, Jan 25, 2013. It plays host hundreds of thousands of visitors each day, had an extensive facelift in the 1990s and was nearly demolished about 55 years ago, but Grand Central Terminal survived and is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Since its grand beginnings in 1913, when it was dubbed the greatest railway terminal in the world with an $80 million price tag, Grand Central has been an integral part of New York.
