. Report on railroad grade crossing elimination and passenger and freight terminals in Los Angeles . rried on drays and trucks,since all the streets used for draying in this vicinity have grades of con-siderably less than one per cent.

We have already noted that the maximum number of station trackspossible at the Southern Pacific site is twelve, this limitation being im-posed by the width of the site. There are now eight station tracks andit is possible to build four more without encroachment on Alameda Street. rile number of approach tracks proposed was two, as shown bv Fig. 118.
