AN ENTRANCE TO THE GREAT NEW YORK
STATION.
Eighth avenue, with the exception of
forty-ive foot colonnades marking en-
frances to the concourse.
One Of the distinctive features of
this building is the waiting room at
the track level, which extends from
Thirty-first to Thirty-third streets, its
walls parallel to Seventh and Eighth
avenues for a distance of 314 feet
The height Of this room is $50 feet and
its width 100 feet. The walls of the
waiting room above the main body of
the building contain on each side three
semicircular windows Of a radius Of
thirty-three feet and sixty-six feet
wide at the base. There is also
window Of like size at each end Of
the waiting room.
The design of the interior of the gen.
eral waiting room was suggested by
the great halls and basilicas of Rome,
such as the baths of Caracalla, Titus
and Diocletian and the basilica of
Constantine.
From start to finish Of this mighty
project no expense has been consid-
cred too great for the proper carrying
out Of the work. The watchwOrds
have been solidity, durability. safety.
adequacy. The company has built for
the future, and the undertaking has
never been hampered by any clogging
niggardliness or the least desire to
skimp at single point. Not only New
York and the railroad, but the entire
country, may be congratulated over the
completion of this mighty task, bene-
fitting as it will the thousands from ev-
cry state in the Union who will jour-
ney to New York.
The dream of A. ]. Cassatt, president
Of the Pennsylvania railroad when
the project began and the originator
of it, has at last been realized. After
his death the work of building this
immense tunnel system was taken up
by his successor. James McCrea, and
carried to success.

600 cubic feet of pink granite. In
addition. there have been utilized in
side the concourse 10000 cubic feet
Of stone. A total Of $4,000 cubic feet
of granite has thus been utilized in
construction and ornamentation Of this
building. 1t took LAO freight cars to
transport the 1900 tons of stone from
Milford. Mass.
In addition to the granite, the con-
struction of this building has required
$1,000 tons of steel and 15,0OO,OOO
bricks. weighing $4,000 tons. The first
stone of the masonry work on the
building was laid June 10, 1908. The
entire masonry has been completed In
approximately thirteen months.
Built after the Roman Doric style OF
architecture. the building covers the
entire area bounded by Seventh and
Eighth avenues and Thlrty-first and
Thirty-third streets. The depth of the
property is 500 feet, and the length of
the building is 7S9 feet. thus allowing
for extra wide sidewalks on both av-
enues.

perfected and the employees trained
to their new work.
Beginning at Harrison, N. j., the
first section Of the completed work
encountered is the embankment and
bridge approach. five miles long, which
carries the tracks across the Hacken-
sack meadows. From the marshy
lowland the surface rises abruptly to
the Bergen hills, and under the west
ward side Of this the two tunnels
plunge into the rock. Passing under
West Hoboken and Weehawken, they
run under the North river to the great
terminal station in New York city.
East of this station are four more tun-
nels continuing under Manhattan and
the East river to Long Island City.
Here are great yards for the storage
and making up Of trains, and here will
be the headquarters for the train crews
and for the elaborate commissary de-
partment for supplying the dining
cars. In these yards four miles of
passenger cars alone can be stored.
This terminal system has cost over
$1O0.OOO,OOO. 1t is unquestionably the
greatest undertaking and accomplish
ment of its kind that the world has
known. 1t took the nerve Of a Cas-
satt and the immense reserve power
Of corporation with the huge system
and earning power and the great finan-
cial resources of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to put such project through.
Eight acres Of ground are covered by
