Philadelphias Rapid Transit Be PDF Download

Excerpt from Philadelphia's Rapid Transit: Being an Account of the Construction and Equipment of the Market Street Subway-Elevated and Its Place in the Great System and Service of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company The work is now completed; it is a monument to the unselfish public spirit of the financial interests which attempted it, to the skill of the engineers who designed it and the contractors who built it, under difficulties never before encountered in similar work. Whether it will pay directly is a question yet to be determined. If, however, it should bring to the management of the present operating Company, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, some recognition from the public that their interests are first considered, it will at once prove a profitable investment.
