Lecture: Construction of Old Penn Station and Its Tunnels

Date: Thursday, October 4, 2007
Time: 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
Location: Pfizer Auditorium, Dibner Building
Cost: Free to ASCE Members, $15 to non-members requiring PDH credit.

At the end of the 19th century, Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) president Alexander Cassatt sought some way - other than huge fleets of ferries from New Jersey - to bring the PRR's tens of millions of passengers into water-locked New York. By 1901, the brilliant Cassatt had embarked upon the greatest civil engineering project of the times—an enterprise so ambitious, so visionary, it was denounced as corporate folly. Under his direction, the PRR built a monumental system of electrified railroad tunnels under the Hudson River, Manhattan, and the East River to Long Island, capping them all with the crown jewel of Pennsylvania Station.

At this powerpoint lecture, Dr. Jill Jonnes, author of Conquering Gotham: A Gilded Age Epic: The Construction of Penn Station and Its Tunnels, extraordinary engineering feat. For ten years, engineers and legions of "sand hog" labore will tell the story and show slides of thisrs battled the crushing forces of two rivers as they burrowed through treacherous glacial soils, suffering blow-outs, explosions, labor troubles and mounting fatalities. Most distressing, PRR engineers feared that the Hudson River tunnels might not be safe and could doom the whole project.

SPEAKER:
Dr. Jill Jonnes earned her B.A. at Barnard College, her M.S. at Columbia Journalism School and her Ph.D. in American History at Johns Hopkins University. She has been a National Endowment for the Humanities Scholar and a frequent recipient of grants from the Ford Foundation. Conquering Gotham (Viking, 2007) is her fourth history book, and the second in a Gilded Age engineering trilogy. The first book in the engineering trilogy was Empires of Light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse and the Race to Electrify the World (Random House, 2003). Both books have been critically acclaimed.

For more information, please contact The Infrastructure Group chair, Jagtar S. Khinda at 212-788-1781, jkhinda@dot.nyc.gov. Reservations are highly recommended. Please contact our Secretary- Jaimin Amin – at 212-268-2730, jamin@arorapc.com to register and save your seat.
