CHAPTER Il, SECTION 5 Figure 2-76. Station 40 Under Construction MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL. Same as Station 10 with the exception of omission of 4-ton bridge crane. ENGINEERING. Theinitial criteria of 22 June indicated that this Station would be identical with Station 10. The revised criteria of 26 August resulted in major design problems, especially due to the inclusion of a concrete wall. The design and plan work is reported in part under Station 10. Dueto revised criteria, 13 additional plans were prepared and were submitied from 11 September to 4 November. The plans were approved from 25 September to 24 November. CONSTRUCTION. Construction was scheduled to commence on 10 October and to complete by 15 January. Actual work started on 2 November and was completed on 22 January 1954.
