At no other point in the city except perhaps at the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge is street traffic so congested from time to time as at this busy corner. Surface cars moving in rapid succession on both Broadway and Sixth Avenue and the vast army of pedestrians and vehicles make this one of the most diżicult crossings in New York. The view shows a station of the elevated road with entrances and exits and separate platforms for up-town' and down-town trains. Thel elevated railroads are now Operated by electricity and consist of four main double-track lines and a few short branches.
