The Philadelphia and Reading Terminal Railroad and Station in Philadelphia
Progress in this country is evidenced in no way more conclusively than in the growth of railways. With their great development, their consolidation into grand trunk lines, the concentration of traffic, and the expansion of suburban travel, the necessity bas arisen in cities of the first class for great terminal railway stations in central locations, provided with all the improvements, accommodations and facilities for rapid and effective train service which modern ingenuity can devise. It is believed that an account of the construction of one of these great terminals from its inception to its completion will be of considerable interest to the profession, and it is with this object that the present paper has been prepared.
