The scale is like something out of an Indiana Jones movie.  The yellow cladding is a waterproofing geotextile that will soon be covered over itself as the cavern is turned into a terminal.
The titanic yellow facility—its walls secured behind waterproofing geotextiles that will, of course, eventually be covered over altogether, meaning that this surreal yellow scene is just a temporary state—is on the Grand Central side of the project, and will be part of a huge new underground terminal increasing access for the Long Island Railroad. It is also just one of the many other, ongoing workstunneling away beneath the surface of the city.
