New York, NY (March 15, 2011) – Old reliable is back on the case. After living in mothballs following removal from above Grand Central Terminal’s track 19 bumper block, the self winding clock that told millions of commuters over the years how much time they had left to board their train – has been put back into service in a new location. The vintage timepiece made by the Self Winding Clock Co. was recently pulled out of mothballs and mounted on GCT's Lower Level concourse ceiling near the entrance to track 108. According to Margie Anders of the MTA Press Office, “It was moved there the first week of March, the oak housing was refinished and the face was repainted.”
