Longest Bridge in World.

Another step in the progress of the
Pennsylvania railroads New York
tunnel extension and connections was
taken this week when plans for the
East river bridge OF the New York
connecting railroad were submitted
by Samuel Rea, vice-president of the
company, to the Municipal Art Com
mission for its approval. in accord
ancf with the franchise granted by
the city to the company. This bridge
will form part of steel viaduct more
than three miles lon0 connecting the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad system in the Bronx with
the Long 'sland and the Pennsyl-
vania. With sweeping curve the
viaduct will pass over He'll Gate,
Wards Island, Little He'll Gate, Ran
dalrs Island and Bronx kills.
1t will be the longest and heaviest
steel bridge in the world. Eighty
thousand tons of steel will be used
in its construction 1t will carry four
railroad tracks imbedded in stone
ballast, so as to render the structure
noiseless.
When the undertaking is completed
the city of New York will enjoy for
the first time through all-rail route

and West Through trains from
Boston may then run to New York
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash

leaving tie rails. Heretofore cars for
such through trains have been ferried
