BIG ENGINEERING FEAT.
?. R. R. Will Cut It's Iron
Train Shed in Two and
Move One Part
l25 Feet.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is
about to perform one of the greatest en-
gineering feats on record in connection
with the improvements the company is
making at its station at the foot Of ES-
change place. The gigantic iron arch
at the present train Shed, which is such a
conspicuous object on the Jersey water
front, viii be cut in two and the forward
end will be moved forward bodily 125 feet
toward the river.
This vast mass of steel trusswork,
weighing 500 tons, 256 feet in width and
12o feet high, is to be moved as smoothly
and easily as if il were an ordinary iron
Tne preparations for this big piece Of
work are now being made. Two large
stone foundations ON which the ends of
the enormous span are to rest have a.
ready been built. They stand far out
from the former station, near the ferry
Slips and reach down fifty feet to solid
rock under the muddy bottom Of the
river.
Two other brick piers are now being
built between these foundations, and the
square space between is being Iilied IN
with piles. Over the tops OF these plies
and foundations will then be made a net
work of steel girders and cross beams
There will them be arranged q tranway
at either side leading from the present
foundation of the great span OUT to the
furthest stone foundations With several
intermediate tracks. On these tramWays
will be placed steel friction rollers, a foot
IN diameter. filled with smaller rollers on
the principle OF the ball bearings OF q bl-
tycle Mounted on these rollers the great
256-foot arch will start on its way TO its
new location, 125 feet out into the river.
The motive force will be supplied by
three stationary engines. Placed on the
piling out between the ferry slips the
connecting blocks and cables will be so
arranged that the engines can exert a
force of ten thousand horse power each. &
With slow but even movement the
steel span will move quietly to its new
position. II everything goes well the
whole operation may be done in few
hours.
When the span is in it's new position a
steel framework will be built connecting
il with the present train shed. This will
make a gigantic shed 757 feet in length.
The cost of this enlargement will be
100000
The new waiting room over the old
ferry house is rapidly nearing completion.

done under the supervision of Engineer
L. H. Barker and Assistant Engineer M

When completed, this station will be
the most imposing feature on the water
front. 1t will cost $500000, and be COM
