"Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXVIII, Sept. 1910" by E. B. Temple, is a record of early 20th-century civil engineering focused on the New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The publication explores the construction of the Harrison Transfer Yard and the Meadows Division, detailing the design and building of tracks, platforms, and support systems for both electric and steam engines. It emphasizes the operational effectiveness achieved through rapid passenger transfers and efficient engine changes. Despite the construction hurdles presented by the marshy terrain and ground settlement issues, engineering methods were used.
