Abstract
The question of abolishing grade crossings in the District of Columbia was under discussion for many years, and numerous plans were prepared with this object in view. As early as 1896 it fell to the writer's lot to be assigned the duty of making studies for the reconstruction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's yards, buildings, and lines within the District of Columbia. At that time, of 28 streets and avenues crossed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's Washington and Metropolitan Branches in the city and suburbs, only one was carried over or under the railroad by a suitable bridge.
