Consolidated Cut On Another Tear In North Abington
A Monday incident on the North Abington railroad line saw a New York New Haven Hartford work train dismantle a third mile of a side track built by the Brockton Abington Electric Light and Power Company to receive coal. The Old Colony road contested the action but did not dispute the Consolidated railroad’s right. The street railway company said the move would not greatly affect them as they buy power by the day and would not incur extra costs if coal access remains constrained.
