Grand Central is the central station of the Northern Line of the Greycliff Continental Railway. The station is located inside the city of Block Nation, at a central location in the city. It is accessible via /warp Grand Central.

Grand Central station was first built for the Togcity Subway (Block Nation's name was once Togcity), and specifically Line B. A tentative station for the Greycliff Continental Railway was built soon after the Line B station, and the Northern Line's platform was remodeled later. After the Northern Line's platform was finalized, a platform was also built for Line A of the Togcity Subway, which was the last major construction done at Grand Central Station.

This station follows the GCR's naming convention of including the city or area name if there is more than one stop in that city or area, and on signs the station is called Togcity Grand Central. On signs outside of Togcity, the station is mostly referred along with West Hannaford as simply Togcity.

While Togcity was renamed to Block Nation in early 2014, the Subway and GCR station have not been updated to the new name.

Platform and track configuration

Each service that passes through Grand Central has two tracks and one island platform. A total of three services run through the station (GCR Northern Line, Togcity Subway Line A, Togcity Subway Line B), leading to a total of six tracks and three island platforms.

History

The first parts of the Grand Central station to be built were the Line B platform and the GCR platform. For a while, both Line B and the Northern Line terminated at Grand Central, but later both lines were extended past the station. The Northern Line's extension took place in conjunction with the completion of Line A's trackage into Grand Central, and both lines initially ran eastwards to West Hannaford. The final construction that occurred at Grand Central Station was the extension of Line A northwest to Center Street West.
