| Summary | "Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXVIII, Sept." is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume presents technical papers, with the leading piece authored by George C. Clarke detailing the preliminary work for the New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The focus is on the engineering and construction aspects of the terminal station site in Manhattan, exploring topics such as excavation, retaining walls, and the management of utilities within the urban landscape. The opening of this publication details the significant preparatory work involved in the construction of the Terminal Station site. It outlines the preliminary surveys, excavation plans, the design of retaining walls, and various engineering challenges that arose during the planning stage. Clarke discusses the methods for soil assessment through wash-borings and the infrastructural adjustments necessitated by existing city utilities. This comprehensive examination provides insight into the complexities of urban engineering during this period, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of civil engineering practices and challenges faced in the construction of a major transportation hub.
