It’s Grand Central Terminal as you’ve never seen it before.

No tourists. No travelers.

Empty.

Barren.

Cue the tumbleweeds.

The MTA posted photos of the uninhabited terminal after the city’s mass transit was shut down due to Hurricane Sandy.

The photos show the terminal’s Main Concourse, dining concourse and subway platforms.

Those images were made possible because the city’s rail and bus service is nonexistent. Metro-North, LIRR, NJ Transit, PATH and Amtrak service across the Northeast is shut down, as is the Staten Island Ferry.
