      THE NEW YORK TUNNEL EXTENSION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.

      MEADOWS DIVISION AND HARRISON TRANSFER YARD.[A]

      By E. B. Temple, M. Am. Soc. C. E.

Thence it continues, with light undulating grades, across the Hackensack Meadows to a point just east of the Northern Railroad of New Jersey and the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad, where it descends to the tunnels under Bergen Hill and the North River.
