I can't take anything in the article seriously when they call Grand Central Terminal by the incorrect "station" name.

Grand Central Terminal is called that because it's the end of the rail lines that arrive there. People who don't know still call it "grand central station".

They only call it Grand Central Station in the headline (and the caption of the title photo) and presumably that's because Grand Central Station is what most people in the world call it.

They call it Grand Central Terminal in the first sentence of of the article.

The article gets it right. The headline is wrong. It's possible the headline was written by someone else than the author.
For large news organizations, it's pretty common for headlines not to be written by the article author and the author to have no control over the headline.
Frankly I forgot to correct it when I posted it here as well - thanks for pointing that out.
