520 _a"Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXVIII, Sept.…" is a scientific publication authored by E. B. Temple and pertains to civil engineering practices in the early 20th century. The document discusses infrastructural developments, particularly focusing on the New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad. This extensive report likely encompasses technical details surrounding civil engineering, transportation systems, and the design and construction of railway stations and tunnels. In this publication, E. B. Temple outlines the construction aspects of the Harrison Transfer Yard and the Meadows Division of the Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Railroad. Detailed descriptions of the engineering requirements, layout of tracks, platforms, and facilities for electric and steam engines are provided, highlighting operational efficiencies such as quick passenger transfers and motive power changes. The work illustrates the challenges faced during the construction, including settlement issues in the marshy surroundings, as well as the innovative solutions implemented, showcasing the standards and methods of civil engineering at the time. Overall, the book serves as a significant record of urban rail transport infrastructure development in the early 20th century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
