Boston and Maine protests over Charles River bridges order
The Boston and Maine railroad memorial to the Secretary of War argues that a 1888 order requiring bridge changes over the Charles River is vague and unworkable. It asserts existing bridges date from 1830 to 1842, rely on state charters, and would clash with state and federal authority, hindering a planned union station and grade separation project.
