Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Abolition of Grade Crossings, in the City of Worcester Subsequently the two dangerous crossings of Cambridge Street across the Providence 8a Worcester Railroad, and Franklin Street across the Boston Albany, Providence 8a Worcester, and Norwich Worcester Railroads were abolished, the former in 1883, and the latter in 1887-88, and on the Boston Albany Railroad, Sutton Lane, Webster Street, Heard Street and Ludlow Street have been either abolished the past year or are now under construction. In the year 1887, after the Boston, Barre 85 Gardner Railroad had become a part of the Fitchburg, the present Fitchburg local freight yard and house were established between Blackstone and Summer Streets. N 0 material change has taken place in the yards of the other railroads since. From the above statement it will be seen that from the date of the introduction of railroads into the city until the present day there has been a total of thirteen grade crossings abolished; six of them by raising or lowering the streets, and seven by removing the tracks. We will now proceed to consider the five different methods proposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
