Talk about giving the impression to a passenger he or she was about to experience a great adventure, and also giving the impression the NYC was a mighty collossus and for a brief time YOU were going to be a part of it!

The Board... and the Gate! As a kid it was the first thing I would study at the station no matter where I was.
It was a big part of the railroad world and you're imagination. Nothin' like checking these out and reading every line.. wonderment and daydreaming!
