Synopsis
Beautifully done history of one of America's greatest engineering projects: the construction of the complex of tunnels and terminals leading to Pennsylvania Station in New York, including the building of the tunnels under the Hudson and East Rivers, the bridge across the Hell Gate from Long Island, the enormous storage and service yards and the electrification of the entire New York line. The centerpiece, of course, was Penn Station itself whose history is described in detail, including its use since the building was demolished in the 1960s. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos, maps and diagrams. 158 pages with index.

Barring the way was a wide, deep, busy river, the Hudson. The late 1800s were a time of rapid techno- logical development, and in 1901 the railroad was able to begin a project that would take a decade and a half to complete: a new line across the marshes of New Jersey, tunnels under the Hudson and East Rivers, a bridge across the Hell Gate from Long Island to the mainland, an enor- mous passenger-train storage and service yard, electrification, and the keystone of the project, the Pennsylvania Railroad's Manhattan gateway, Pennsylvania Station.
