Its tough to find good info on this.  How many platforms and tracks have been taken out of service from the NYC glory days?  What about the storage/yard tracks....express tracks...and the turning loops?  Are most of all the original platforms still in use?   Are there pics anywhere of the turning loops?  Real pics on the track...not sketches.

So its pretty much a carbon copy of the NYC days...but a few tracks are just storage and the place is probably a lot cleaner now?

 

What is the Madison Ave Yard they speak of?  Its a Metro North holding yard and is being built over the the LIRR project.  But I can locate a pic anywhere of it?

 

Are the turn/loop tracks under the concourse ever used?

While reading this thread,  I seemed to recall that one track had been eliminated for the North End Access project. (see link) But according to the story, the access walkways are built along pre-existing platform routes, and no tracks were harmed during the project. Still, it's a remarkable engineering feat.
