Antwerp Central 4th most beautiful station

Fri 06/02/09 12:33 - Antwerp Central is the 4th most beautiful train
station in the world, according to the American magazine Newsweek. St.
Pancras in London (UK) is the most beautiful, followed by Grand
Central Station in New York City (USA), and Chhatrapati Shivaji
station in Mumbai (India).


And Penn would surely have been in the list before it was demolished
and replaced by the basement of Madison Square Garden.

This created such an outcry that Grand Central was saved and cleaned
up. Jacqueline Kennedy led the opposition when Penn Central wanted to
do the same thing.
