On the Amtrak website, there is a link that says "Check out our Great American Stations project....". The site http://www.greatamericanstations.com will pop up in a new window.

In the late 1960's, in New York City, the original Penn Station was torn down, and Grand Central was on the endangered list, until a group of people stepped up to save it. I passed through Grand Central in 1988, just before the restoration there started, and I have seen the documentary on the National Geographic channel showing how beautiful it looks inside and outside today after the restoration was completed. I don't know if anyone with the CTRC has made contact with any of the individuals or agencies listed on http://www.greatamericanstations.com but we might be well advised to do so. There might be a wealth of resources there we can tap into that would help speed up the restoration of BCT, or at least find additional means to secure funding for the restoration. This website is a spinoff from the Amtrak website, and is called the "Great Amerian Stations Project". I would encourage all who haven't visited this site yet to do so. (Right, Ozzy?)
