To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many plans for overcoming the obstruction of platforms by trucks have been devised, principal among which is a system of ample and convenient sub- ways, with elevators; but the problem has* not yet reached a satisfactory solution, and the most modem facilities still reveal the objectionable features' of inter- ference with passengers on the platforms. The appli- cation of overhead carriers has an advantage in keeping trucks off the platforms except at the actual points of delivery and receipt, ...and promises an eventual elimina- tion of this difficulty. In Chicago, the Illinois Tunnel Company's underground system will soon be used, in handling mail, communication with the train-sheds being provided by means of chutes and elevators'. 2. Passenger-coach and equipment yards are usually divided into two parts: (a) a coach storage-yard, where coaches and other passenger equipment are stored ready for use, being "made up" or switched in the order in which the equipment is required for use in trains; (b) a cleaning-yard, where the equipment is placed immediately after arrival, to be cleaned and made ready for use.
