To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A railway ex- tended from Bay Ridge toward Jamaica, Long Island, which was secured and diverted from a point near Deerfoot Park to the beach. Con- nections with the city were made at Bay Ridge by a fine line of steamers, and by this route passengers living above Twenty-third street were landed at the island within an hour of their departure from their homes, and those living farther down town were landed in a still shorter time. A second line was extended through East New- York to Greenpoint, b...y which the residents of the city could reach the island in thirty-five minutes. The depot at Greenpoint was on the East River, and con- nected with Tenth and Twenty-third street ferries. By the latter "all rail" route the island is now brought within less than an hour's dis- tance to the up-town residents of New-York, and a gentleman leaving Madison Square at five in the afternoon can be back by eleven o'clock, after dining and spending four hours by the sea-side. The whole line of double track was laid with steel rails ; rolling stock of the best description was purchased, and thirty thousand passengers could be carried to and fro daily, without inconvenience or danger.
