Book Description
Excerpt from The New York Passenger Terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad (Under Construction): Brief Description of the Main Features of the Engineering Work, Prepared for the Use of Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, on the Occasion of Their Visit to the Terminal Site at the Annual Meeting in New York, January, 1908 This terminal is to serve the Pennsylvania Rail road, which approaches from the west under the Hudson River, and the Long Island Railroad, which approaches from the east under the East River. The preparation of this site included the demoli tion of several hundred buildings. It practically meant the dispersion of a community whose population would be the equivalent of some of our smaller cities. The work of_ excavation called for the removal of nearly cubic yards of material, mostly rock, and the construction of about one and one-half miles of heavy concrete retaining walls. The prosecution of the work necessitated the supporting of streets, including three main north and south avenues carrying the City's heaviest traffic; the Closing up of Thirty-second Street between Seventh and Tenth Avenues; the removal, care and support of miles of water, gas and fire mains; telegraph, telephone, electric light, police and fire alarm wires.

Book Description
Excerpt from The New York Passenger Terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad (Under Construction): Brief Description of the Main Features of the Engineering Work, Prepared for the Use of Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, on the Occasion of Their Visit to the Terminal Site at the Annual Meeting in New York, January, 1908 The project consists of the creation of a great passenger terminal, occupying the equivalent of about six city blocks, between Sixth and Tenth Avenues and Thirty-third and Thirty-third Streets, near the center of the shopping and theater district of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, with tracks at a level about forty-five feet below the streets, and the erection of an immense passenger station building between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, covering about eight acres and located over the track area. This terminal is to serve the Pennsylvania Railroad, which approaches from the west under the Hudson River, and the Long Island Railroad, which approaches from the east under the East River. The preparation of this site included the demolition of several hundred buildings. It practically meant the dispersion of a community whose population would be the equivalent of some of our smaller cities. The work of excavation called for the removal of nearly 3,000,000 cubic yards of material, mostly rock, and the construction of about one and one-half miles of heavy concrete retaining walls. The prosecution of the work necessitated the supporting of streets, including three main north and south avenues carrying the city's heaviest traffic; the closing up of Thirty-second Street between Seventh and Tenth Avenues; the removal, care and support of miles of water, gas and fire mains; telegraph, telephone, electric light, police and fire alarm wires. The grade of the tracks at the station site is from 7 to 10 feet below mean high water in the harbor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
