The SECOND item in this “F.Y.I.” is an interesting piece about Grand Central Terminal.
I would like to add my own nugget of trivia to it.
The original plan was that when the LIRR service begins there, the new tracks would be numbered from 201 to 208.
Then it was changed to:
Upper LIRR Level: 201-204
Lower LIRR Level: 301-304
Apparently, this is because it fits in better with the existing track numbering scheme in which the original Upper Level tracks are all two-digit numbers and all
of the original Lower Level tracks are all three-digit numbers beginning with a 1.
Anyway, here is the link:

By the way, I realized now that I may have phrased the above comment unclearly.
I did NOT mean to suggest that the plans to bring the LIRR into Grand Central have existed since the beginnings of Grand Central itself.
I think I might have “made it sound” like that.
The M shuttle was running today; I assume that means the J work was canceled.
The work is cancelled for the weekend.
