HISTORY: The Boston & Worcester Rail Road Corporation, taken in connection with the Western Railroad, may be considered the backbone of the frame of Railroads in Massachusetts. It starts from the corner of Beach and Lincoln, near the United States Hotel, in Boston, and extends through Worcester and Springfield, and the rich interior and western sections of the State, to West Stockbridge on the western boundary, 162 miles, and continues on to Chatham in New York, where one branch continues on to Greenbush, opposite Albany, 200 miles from Boston, and the Hudson Railroad extends to the town of Hudson, 193 miles from Boston.
