Terminal R. R., from Harrison, N. J., to the Hudson River]

That portion of the line lying west of the portals of the Bergen Hill
Tunnels has been divided into two sections: First, the most westerly,
known as the Harrison Transfer Station and Yard (Plate XVII), which is
located on the southern side of the New York Division, Pennsylvania
Railroad, and extends from the connection with the New York Division
tracks at grade up to the point of crossing the same, where the
Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Railroad has its beginning; second, the
Meadows Division of the Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Railroad, which
is a double-track railroad, 5.08 miles long, extending from a point just
west of the bridge over the New York Division to a point 300 ft. west of
the western portals of the Bergen Hill Tunnels.

_Harrison Transfer Station and Yard._--The necessities for the Harrison
improvements are two-fold: First, as a place to change motive power from
steam to electric, and _vice versa_; second, as a transfer for
passengers from trains destined to the new Station at Seventh Avenue and
33d Street, New York City, to steam or rapid transit trains destined to
the present Jersey City Station, or to the lower part of New York City
_via_ the Hudson and Manhattan Tunnels, and _vice versa_.

All steam trains from Philadelphia, the South, and the West, from New
Jersey seashore resorts, and local trains on the New York Division bound
for the new Pennsylvania Station, will change their motive power from
steam to electric engines at the Harrison Transfer Station. Likewise,
all trains from the Tunnel Line will change from electric to steam
motive power there, and passengers coming from Jersey City and the
southern section of New York City can take through trains at the
Harrison Transfer platforms. It is estimated that the time required to
