They may also go downstairs to buytickets and go by choppers before boarding the surface cars. from the elevated structure to the surface to afford reliefin case of a train blockade on the second floor of thestructure. In abandoning the present terminal to make way forthe construction work a temporary loop for the elevatedcars will be built in Ferry Street. These cars will loadand unload alongside opposite platforms extending fromHudson to Washington Streets, as may be understoodfrom Fig. 2. The operation of surface cars will be con-fined to stub tracks along Hudson Place and east of Hud-son Street. ENGINEERING FEATURES The layout presented interesting engineering problemson account of the small space and irregular property avail-able and because it was necessary to conform with the re-. Property of D. L. & W. R. 2—Hoboken Terminal—New Track Layout at Hudson Place, Hoboken, N. J. At a still lower level are the tunnel trains bound for NewYork or to the Pennsylvania Railroad and Erie Railroadstation, on the New Jersey shore. During the evening rush hours the trend of travel is inthe opposite direction, originating principally with theDelaware, Lackawanna & Western ferryboats and the tun-nel trains. The tunnel passengers come up the stairwayto the surface car loading tracks shown in Fig. 3, whilethose wishing to ride on elevated trains take the escalatorin the concourse of the tunnel station and land at the place quirements of the engineers of the Hudson & ManhattanRailroad Company for protecting the tunnel station whichforms the support of the proposed structure. In designingthe tunnel station the engineers had figured and executedtheir construction work on the assumption that the Pub-lic Service Railway was to erect a surface layout
