Hi,
My uncle is writting an essay about why the old train stations throughout our country should be preserved. He remembers a program called "Grand Central Station" circa ~1946 that had an excellent opening that he would like to incorporate in his essay. Does anyone know where I can obtain a written or recorded copy of the opening to this program? Please email me at tonytech@bigfoot.com. Thank you for your time! Best Regards, Tony |

This series was on the air for over 16 years, so the opening was not always the same. Here's the way it went most of the time:
"As a bullet seeks its target, shining rails in every part of our great country are aimed at Grand Central Station, heart of the nation's greatest city. Drawn by the magnetic force of the fantastic metropolis, day and night great trains rush toward the Hudson River, sweep down its eastern bank for 140 miles, flash briefly by the long red rows of tenement houses south of 125th Street, dive with a roar into the two-and-one-half mile tunnel which burrows beneath the glitter and swank of Park Avenue, and then......Grand Central Station! Crossroads of a million private lives! Gigantic stage on which are played a thousand dramas daily!" |
