   Central in July 1973.  The terminal was then closed overnight; it used to be   
   open 24 hours.  It was said this was done to facilitate cleaning, but   
   supposedly it was a way to    
   get rid of the homeless problem, and save money running the late trains.   
      
   Metro North has been steadily increasing the span of late night service.  The   
   last northbound trains now depart around 1:50 am.
