To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The best engineering practice seems to show that 200 daily trains, taking account of the con- gestion of the morning and evening hours, call for from 17 to 20 tracks, with a 4-traek throat and 4-track approach. This amount of trackage calls for a train shed having platform tracks 425 feet wide by 1200 feet long, and this is exclusive of the area needed for buildings, development of tracks in and out of the yard, mail, express, private car or other facilities. The probability is that the develop...ment of interurban traffic by electric operation will greatly increase rather than decrease the traffic brought into the Union Passenger Terminal. It is sufficient in this instance to quote from the Sachse Report (page 274) where Mr. Sachse shows that a stub terminal of 18 tracks, furnished with all other facilities, will be sufficient: "provided that the throat of the yard is fast and that the coach yard and mechanical facilities are not too far away; the tracks devoted to express purposes are not in- cluded in this number;" and it is apparent that the tracks for baggage, mail and express are not included in this estimate.
