Book Description
Excerpt from South Philadelphia: The Abolishment of Grade Crossings and the Creation of Opportunities for Commercial and Industrial Development Park into anything that would prove satisfactory, so that they entered with enthusiasm upon a study of how this freight line could be carried under Broad Street. Carrying the Belt Line farther north than had originally been planned, and then allowing it to pass under Broad Street, gave the length of yard to the East of Broad Street that the railroad felt was necessary. Another difficulty that had stood in the way of this development had been the feeling on the part of the railroads that wharf property developed immediately to the north of League Island Park would not be as desirable as that they were being asked to vacate farther north. Some studies were made which indicated that docks at this point will not be any more likely to fill than those farther up the river. Again, comprehensive studies had been made as to the way in which this line was to be carried through the plant of the Atlantic Refining Company, without doing undue damage to that plant, and without involving the parties at interest in undue damage costs. These and other engineering difficulties were finally re moved. The plan as developed was turned over early in the year to the executive officers of the railroads, and the series of conferences begun in the Mayor's office, which have now been consummated.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, Volume 2

ISBN: 0253066379

Languages : en
Pages : 1621
Book Description
By 1933, the Pennsylvania Railroad had been in existence for nearly ninety years. During this time, it had grown from a small line, struggling to build west from the state capital in Harrisburg, to the dominant transportation company in the United States. In Volume 2 of The Pennsylvania Railroad, Albert J. Churella continues his history of this giant of American transportation. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the world's largest business corporation and the nation's most important railroad. By 1917, the Pennsylvania Railroad, like the nation itself, was confronting a very different world. The war that had consumed Europe since 1914 was about to engulf the United States. Amid unprecedented demand for transportation, the federal government undertook the management of the railroads, while new labor policies and new regulatory initiatives, coupled with a postwar recession, would challenge the company like never before. Only time would tell whether the years that followed would signal a new beginning for the Pennsylvania Railroad or the beginning of the end. The Pennsylvania Railroad: The Age of Limits, 1917–1933,represents an unparalleled look at the history, the personalities, and the technologies of this iconic American company in a period that marked the shift from building an empire to exploring the limits of their power.
