The other showsa wash out on the line, and gives anidea as to the hight, as well as the methodof drying clothes in the tenement housesof New York. From here to the terminal there isnothing of special interest; but at OneHundred and Fifty-fifth street the ter-minal shown in Fig. ii is quite a revela-tion to the engineer who imagines thatthe elevated road system is a toy. Theview gives an idea of the size as well asthe capacity of the coaling station, andthe available yard room on stilts; thestreets are below it. It must not be imagined that this triphas been all play, for with a five-car trainsome of the grades put the engines toquite a test—in fact, it is a series of grades,some slight, some severe, but all requir-ing care and constant watchfulness on thepart of the engineer.
