纽约和新泽西铁路WAY TERMINAL.

由纽约和新泽西铁路公司建造的巨型新航站楼。纽约曼哈顿的科特兰特（Cortlandt），迪（Dey）和教堂街（Church Streets）将是一个双胞胎结构。它的北部部分 - 富尔顿 - 将俯瞰圣保罗教堂；下层建筑 - 科特兰特 - 科特兰特街。两者将通过表面下方的隧道和从一层到另一层的桥梁连接。他们将占据70,000平方英尺的地面，立方体面积为14,000,000立方米。地面上方的英尺，地面以下3,650,000英尺 - 总计18,150,000立方米。英尺。只有32个关于租赁地板的故事；但是该建筑物将在地面以下75英尺处下降，当投影塔完成后，它们将升到屋顶上方。要使用的材料如下：在地面上方的壁上16.300,000砖； 1,300.000 sq. ft. of tile partitions; 4,500 tons of architectural terra cotta for ornamenting the outside. In the floor arches alone will be 1,100,000 ft. of concrete—enough to pave Broadway fropt curb to curb one foot thick from the Battery to Forty-second street. There will be upwards of 500,000 sq. yds. of plastering, 16 miles of plumbing, 29 miles of steam pipe, 56 lin. miles of wood base, 65 miles of picture moulding, and upwards of 95 miles of conduits and more than 113 miles of wiring—exceeding the amount necessary to maintain a special telegraph line between New York and Philadelphia. The lightmg calls for 30,000 incandescent lamps, attached to 13,000 fixtures, and the thirty-nine electric ele vators will travel altogether 10.608 lin. ft. from floor to floor—if all traveled at once, the round trip would be one of over four miles in extent. Besides these elevators, there will be stairways in both buildings, which, like the elevator shafts, will be entirely boxed in with iron and glass to insure the greatest possible protection against fire. As a matter of fact, a fire could hardly break out, much less gain any headway, since the building is not only to be constructed of fireproof material, but will also have a very complete firefighting system installed. Standpipes will open on every floor, and night and day the corridors will be patrolcd by men, whose business it will be to look out for the slightest sign of fire. All the railway cars will be of steel and fireproof, and will, besides, be equipped with fire-extinguishing appliances.
