Rapid Transit Board Discusses Elevating Tracks and Crossings
The Rapid Transit Commission held an afternoon executive session with John Quincy Adams leading in Mayor Matthews's absence. The discussion focused on a union passenger station north of the city and abolishing grade crossings of the Boston & Maine and Fitchburg railroads. An elevated river crossing from Somerville to Charlestown was proposed to preserve tidal flow and end the Causeway and Travers streets crossings, with possible overseas inspection of terminal systems and a meeting with Railroad Commissioners and railroad presidents planned.
