Compressed air work ends as East River tubes prove water tight
After a week of reducing pressure from thirty pounds per square inch, the four East River tubes built for the Pennsylvania Railroad were tested under atmospheric pressure. Officials walked the C and D tubes with 300 to 400 workers to verify watertight seams and readying for concreting linings. The North River tubes A and B will soon follow with pressure tests, and a fifth tube may be pursued using Pearson & Son's vast plant.
