It is interesting to note that when the Czeck composer and conductor, Antonin Dvorak, lived in New York at then end of the 19th century he used to send some of his music students to Grand Central Station to note the serials of the arriving trains as he was very much a train spotter/enthusiast.

Now, James, report back to me at once if 0001 is on the platform and I will shoot down there at once!

No wonder the New World Symphony sounds so good - Dvorak must have had rich pickings in Grand Central!
