(rshsdepot) Largest arched shed query



The Wabash Pittsburgh arched shed brings up some shed questions...

What was the largest arched rail shed in the US in history, was it 
Reading? The Jersey City Terminal? Something in Chicago?

I think Reading was the largest extant until is closed to trains, ended 
its reign as a shed...., but which was largest ever in US, in the 
world,? Which today is the largest in US and the world, both still used 
and/or still standing? How many are remaining in the US, still RR used 
or just still standing? I know a lot still exist in Europe and 
elsewhere....I am only talking about the huge arched ones..there is even 
a new small one at Ostbahnhof on the S Bahn in Berlin
