Book excerpt: Excerpt from Special Report by the Massachusetts Board of Railroad Commissioners: To the Legislature, in Relation to the Disaster on March 14, 1887, on the Dedham Branch of the Boston Providence Railroad It is a down grade all the way from Roslindale to the Forest Hills station, the grade being fifty feet to the mile. Professor Swain estimated that with the given grade and curvature, allowing for ordinary friction, a train impelled simply by gravity from a position at rest at Roslindale would have acquired a speed of about twenty miles an hour when it reached the bridge. Walter E. White, the engineer, testi fied that he had about ninety pounds of steam and worked steam with the throttle open two or three notches all the time after leaving Roslindale, but that he had not, in his Opinion, acquired a speed of about more than fifteen miles an hour, because the air brakes came off slowly and retarded the train. The condition of the wreck indicated that the train must have been going considerably faster than the engineer supposed. The experts generally placed the rate at thirty miles an hour or more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners: January, 1872 Sixty-eight enactments in all in relation to railroads and horse-railways, were passed by the legislature of 1871. Of these, fifteen were of the nature of general and fifty-three were special laws. Fifteen charters for the construction of new roads were granted, of which fourteen were railroads and one was a horse railway; and four Old charters were revived. The following table supplies the material of forming a comparison between the legislation just referred to of 1871 and that of the five preceding years. (table No. It will be observed that during the last six legislative years no less than forty-nine general laws and Resolves have been passed in relation to the railroads of Massachusetts, besides two hundred and ninety-four laws of special application. Of these, sixty-three have been either Acts of incorporation or of revival. As nearly as the Commissioners can ascertain from very defective returns, there were constructed, during the six railroad years terminating on the 30th day of September, 1871, miles of railroad in the entire State.
