Lede and infobox

[edit]
  • "The hotel was mostly constructed above Grand Central Terminal's railroad tracks, so different sets of columns were used for the lower and upper stories." I really can't parse from the lede what makes it obvious that being built above a railroad means there are different sets of columns, or what these columns even are
    • These are typical support columns within the interiors of buildings. Since the tracks are built above railroad switches, the columns on the lower stories have to be arranged to avoid hitting railroad tracks, which meant the columns could not be placed in a grid (separated from each other at regular intervals). This wasn't a problem for the upper stories, so the columns were placed at regular intervals. Anyway, I've changed the sentence to "The hotel was mostly constructed above Grand Central Terminal's railroad tracks, and different structural frameworks were used in the lower and upper stories."
