. Stazioni suburbane e case rurali sulla Pennsylvania Railroad. Est a New York lasciare la linea principale e passare, oltre la strada di collegamento, per la loro destinazione; mentre quelli da est si uniscono a questo punto con treni espressi da Filadelfia ad ovest. Niente è essere seenbut linee infinite di automobili di ogni descrizione, eniente sentito, ma i puffs di vapore, il vaso dei treni, e i grida dei treni-uomini.

Nothing is to be seenbut endless lines of cars of every description, andnothing heard but the puffs of steam, the jar of trains, and the shouts of train-men. It is purely a railroadpoint, where travel and traffic are continually comingtogether and separating, —a business artery throbbingwith the life-current of the two great hearts of theEastern States. Emerging from this din, a few greenspots which were once fields are seen, but the en-croachments of population have converted them into^^ots waiting to be built upon.
