Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXVIII, Sept. 1910 The Site of the Terminal Station. Paper No. 1157

"Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXVIII, Sept. 1910" by George C. Clarke, is a early 20th-century deep dive into the early engineering phases of building a major train station in Manhattan. This publication zeroes in on the careful planning and construction work required, touching on site studies, digging processes, and utility changes in a busy city environment. Through detailed accounts of soil tests and wall designs, the document illustrates what it took to prepare a major urban transportation site in an era of big engineering projects.
