Book excerpt: Excerpt from Derrah's Official Street Railway Guide: For Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island Not only on account of its completeness is this Guide believed to have a special value, but the pub lication may be regarded as official and authentic, the proofs having been corrected and revised by the officials of the various street railways described. The success of former editions is largely due to this fact, and the publisher wishes to thank all the street rail way officials and others who have done so much to make this work popular among the patrons of the trolley. In response to a general demand, the time-tables of the different suburban railway companies repre sented in this Guide are published this year for the first time. It would obviously be impossible to pub lish the running time of all cars on all the lines, even if it were desirable. The cars of the Boston Ele yated Railway Company run so frequently on all lines that no attempt is made to give the schedules of that road, except for the night cars - a feature which has been found popular in past editions. On the suburban roads the running time of the first car, together with the number of cars per hour, or the general running schedule, is given. This will enable any one to approximate the connections which may be made at any given point. While the time-tables have been revised by the officials of the different railway companies themselves, and are therefore the official time-tables, some mistakes may occur, owing to necessary changes, etc., but it is be lieved that they are substantially correct and may be relied upon, although the street railway companies or the author will not be held responsible for any changes, mistakes or delays that may occur.
