Summary:
On the abandoned platform of the New York Central Train Station stands a group of nine life-sized, white plaster figures depicting people waiting for the night train to come through the station. There is a father checking his watch with his young son looking on and his young daughter tugging at her father's coat; two nuns seated side by side; a baggageman leaning over to pick up a pair of suitcases (which have have been removed from the installation); a World War II serviceman looking over at a seated woman; and a standing woman dressed in a short dress and high heels. The figures are installed behind a chain link fence and are only visible from Interstate 690.
