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
