A large part ofthis business is made up of building ma-terials handled to the new tripple of aconstruction company. An idea of thequantity of this business is given in anarticle which appeared, before the tripplewas completed, in the company publica-tion, published by Day & Zimmerman, en-gineers, who own and operate the Youngs-town and Suburban Railway. It says: The total trackage from the switch tothe end of the tripple will be over and the total length of the trippleitself will be 540 feet with bins having acapacity of approximately 3,000 tons ofmaterials. The various bins under thistripple are for the storage of sand andgravel and other building materials andwill be arranged so that a 4j4 ton truck at 600 volts) on per cent grade with350 ton load mph.
