NYC built a new passenger depot that late??

I was thinking of something much more substantial!
but for 1956, I guess that makes sense..
by then, they certainly knew passenger service wasnt going to last long.
a precursor to the "amshack" I suppose..
wow..looks like that New York Central lettering is still there!
I have to get out there and check that out!
