The New York Public Library's 'book train' is really a nickname given to the underground conveyor belt system used to carry books from the Milstein Research Stacks beneath Bryant Park all the way up to the Rose Main Reading Room at their Stephen A. Schwarzman Building location in Midtown.
A typical journey can take as little as five minutes to travel up the 11 floors, and each cart can carry up to 30 lbs. of materials.
