Rail plan outlines multiple New York Providence & Boston extensions
The Providence Journal outlines a four part plan to extend and rearrange tracks for the New York Providence & Boston Railroad Company to connect with the Providence River and harbor lines. Proposals cover a drawbridge at India Street, a north to Dorrance Street freight route, a tide water connection to Harbor Junction, and a long eastern route to Valley Palis.
