Governor Foss Seeks Metropolitan Rail Merger and Controls
Governor Foss sends a 6000 word message urging enactment of a sweeping railroad merger bill. The plan eliminates holding companies, places oversight with a public utilities board, builds a tunnel between North and South stations, and aims at electrifying the Metropolitan circuit within five years. It calls for flat rates, end of favorable Boston rates, modernizing Boston and Maine, and the term New England Lines for the system. The Grand Trunk would gain access to Boston with through trains and electric traction through the tunnel, ensuring its reach without entangling rivals.
