World’s Largest Model Railroad

Well, if this isn’t the most insane thing I’ve seen in several years!  This is a simply unbelievable Model Railroad video of the Miniature Wonderland model railroad in Hamburg, Germany.  It is the largest Model Railroad in the world at 16,146 square feet with 10,000 railroad cars running on 6.8 miles of miniature track.  Construction of the Model Railroad is still underway, with a scale Model Railroad airport due to open this year. 

 

 

Discover the hidden corners and shady past of Grand Central


Secrets of Grand Central Terminal

Grand Central Terminal, built in 1913 and the largest train station in the world, has a rich history and plenty of secrets. Explore the shady past, the hidden corners, and the many quirks of this New York City landmark.
 

The Whispering Gallery

The "whispering gallery" is located on the dining concourse near the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant. Here, the acoustics of the low ceramic arches can cause a whisper to sound like a shout. Sound impossible? To test it out, you and a friend will have to stand in opposite corners of the large arched entryway. Now face the corner and whisper. Your friend should be able to hear your voice as if you were right next to them, not whispering into a far-away corner.

According to experts, this happens because the whisperer’s voice follows the curve of the domed ceiling. The Whispering Gallery is a popular spot for marriage proposals – and a unique place to whisper sweet nothings to your main squeeze.
 

The Secret Passage

Underneath Grand Central Terminal, there are secret networks of underground tracks, steam-pipe tunnels, and storage areas. Hidden in these underground depths is a train platform with a secret entrance and an elevator straight up to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt reportedly used this as his private entry into New York City – a way to get from his train to the hotel without being bothered by reporters. Unfortunately, you can’t currently see this secret passage for yourself. The door to the secret elevator is welded shut.
