RAILROADS IN THE UNITED STATES. The following list of Railroads in Massachusetts and the adjacent States, and in New York, is very complete and accurate, being compiled from official returns made near January, 1854. **This includes the Albany and W. Stockbridge Railroad, from Albany to the State line. Length 38.25 miles; cost $ 1,930,895, and leased by the Western Railroad. tt 6.62 miles in New Hampshire. The Woburn Branch, 2 miles long, belongs to the Lowell road; the Medford Branch, 2 miles, the Methuen Branch, 3 miles, and the Great Falls Branch (in New Hampshire), 3 miles, to the Maine; the West Roxbury and Dedham Branch, 5.35 miles, and the Pawtucket Branch, 4.2 miles, to the Providence; the Brookline Branch, 1.6 miles, the Newton Lower Falls Branch, 2.5 miles, the Saxonville Branch, 4 miles, the Millbury Branch, 3.2 miles, and the Milford Branch, 12 miles, to the Worcester; the Marblehead Branch, 3 miles, the Gloucester Branch, 13.5 miles, and the Salisbury Branch, 3.4 miles, to the Eastern; the Fresh Pond and Watertown Branch, 10 miles, and the Lancaster and Sterling Branch, 9 miles of which are completed, to the Fitchburg. The Worcester Branch road is half a mile in length, the Bridgewater Branch, 6.5 miles, the Chicopee Branch, 3 miles, and the Granite (in Quincy) road, 3 miles. Including such of these as have not been before given, the total length of what may be called the Massachusetts roads, is 1,291.65 miles. Besides these, there are roads in process of construction, leading from the main lines in Massachusetts into other States. During the session of 1846, the Massachusetts Legislature chartered eighteen roads and branches, with an aggregate capital of $5,795,000; during the session of 1847, sixteen, with an aggregate capital of $4,822,000; during the session of 1848, nineteen, with an aggregate capital of $ 7,105,000, and the capital stock of the railroads already in operation was increased, $3,945,000; during the session of 1849, fourteen, with an aggregate capital of $2,470,000, and the capital stock of the railroads in operation was increased $1,150,000; during the session of 1850, three roads or branches, with an aggregate capital of $740,000, and the capital stock of the roads in operation was increased $925,000; during the session of 1851, eleven roads or branches, with a capital stock of $3,320,000, and the capital stock of the roads in operation was increased $1,515,000; during the session of 1852, eleven roads or branches, with a capital stock of $2,145,000, and the capital stock of the roads in operation, or chartered, was increased $2,240,000; during the session of 1853, six roads or branches, with a capital stock of $1,535,000, and the capital stock of the roads in operation or chartered was increased $650,000; and during the session of 1854, fourteen roads or branches, with a capital stock of $ 3,410,000, and the capital stock of one road in operation was increased $ 60,000. By the returns on the Massachusetts roads, it appears that there were during the year 74 casualties by which persons were killed, or injured so that they died therefrom, and 38 casualties which did not prove fatal. Of the 74 persons killed, 24 were employees of the road. 26 were persons walking or sleeping on the track, or attempting to cross it while the trains were approaching. Three persons were killed in attempting to get on the cars, after they were in motion. Four passengers fell from the cars while in motion, and one death was suicide. Of the 38 not fatal casualties, 2 befell employees of the roads; 3, persons jumping on or off the cars while in motion. 18 passengers were killed or fatally injured, and 22 were injured, during the year; but all, with one exception, on the Boston and Maine, and Providence and Worcester roads. More than 12,000,000 passengers were carried over the roads during that period. |
