FORMS ROLL OVER STREETCAR TRACKS TO CAST STATION IN HILL

The construction of a new station in the side of a hill in San Francisco by using massive arched traveling forms that roll over existing tracks to cast the station's vaulted walls and ceiling is described. The station, 51 ft wide and 26 ft high, is elliptical in cross section and lies on a vertical curve with a 2% grade. The 212-ft-long underground section will be topped by a 150 x 125-ft building, also underground.
