Although the Grand Central Termi
nal just completed In New 3Tork City
is the largest railway station in this
country m point of size, nevertheless
Boston's South Station can still claim
the distinction of being the busiest
railway terminal on this continent. If
not in the world, handiing more
trams, more people, more baggage
more mail every day than any
other station.
Through these two great railroad
icumnais at tne two ends of the New
iorK, wew Maven and Hartford Rail
road system there have nassed in nnn
jco.! yj v ci UD.uuu.uuU naaSATiiroro
which is more than half the popula
tion or the United States. The New
Haven shares th nra-n rD-i
the New York Central road and the
coutn station with the Boston and
ai oany.
Figures lust
road year ending June '30, 1913 show
in mai year 5,343,474 more peo
ple passed through the South Station
than the Grand Central t-v..
number of passengers in and out of
coutn station in that year was
'0,SI,S89. -I'hO total -rxacaina- t
out of the Grand Central was 22,403,-
-ims would mean a daily aver
age for the South Station of 77,664
persons, while 61,379 persons would
appear daily to use the Grand Central
Terminal. Here are the figures by

In the number of trains handled
each dav th Knurh srsi;n
tinues to be ahead, of the Grand Cen
tral fetation. Almost twice as many
trains enter or leave the former as
compared with th lutnr Tf oViiinM
be said bv wav of c.xTln Hnn Vi
ever, mat tne average number of cars
to a. train is greater at the Grand Cen
tral Station thn.n ot Strtutti
tibn owing to the fact that the traffic
or tne bouta station is distributed over
more lines.
The number of 'trains entering and
leaving the South Station in the 24
hour period on week days is now 843.
When the South Station was opened
in 1900, only 737 trains a. day were
handled. The number of week day
trains handled at the Grand Central
in the same period is 450. On Sun
days the nurnber at the South Station
is J 28 and at the Grand Central 29.
In-the rush hour at the South Station
91 trains leave in 60 minutes, which
Is more than twice the number opera
ted from the Grand Central.
The figures for trains do not repre
sent by any means the total train
movement of engines and cars as it
does not include the transfer move
menta to and from the storage yards.
On week days, for example, at the
South Station, 372 empty trains are
hauled into or out of the station and
345 engines without trains move in or
ont from the roundhouses, making a
total train movement at the station of
1,560 trains' and engines. The total
train movement on - week days at the
Grand Central Is 764. -'
In the year ending June 30, 226,391
more people departed from the Grand
Central Terminal than arrived there,
and there was an increase in the total
number using the station of 842,674
over the previous year.
That the new Grand Central Termi
nal has hardly begun to do the busi
ness for which it was designed is
shown by the fact that while approxi
mately ,62,000 people use it daily now
the station when completed wHl have
a capacity to handle 70,000 people in
one hour. , -
Twenty-one tracks have stfll to be
completed and put in use at the Grand
Central Terminal, whereas all of the
tracks at the South Station in Boston
are now in use with the exception of
the two suburban loop tracks, whose
operation .must await the substitution
of electricity for steam.
