Not nearly as fancy, but quite attractive despite the simplification. 

As a New York Central fan with many books on the subject, I'm sure I could track down my answer. But why was the 2nd station demolished and replaced by the one in the first picture? It was impressive looking and quite large, so the need isn't immediately apparent when it was only 30 years old.

Well thank God for that!  At least it doesn't look like a lousy bus stop!
