Bay State to Discontinue 126 Miles of Street Railway Lines
Receiver Wallace B. Denham won court authority to cut about 126 miles of track, bringing total trimmed lines to 141 miles due to unprofitable returns. He notes potential local state legislation may let communities decide on partial operation or complete shutdown, with notices to be given before service ends. The proposed reductions affect routes from Melrose Highlands to Taunton and many towns, including Saugus, Wakefield, Danvers, Lynnfield, Peabody, Reading, and more, with some already discontinued or awaiting Public Service Commission action.
