A 750-horsepower cross compound engine and 500 kW generator are installed at the Hampton power house to support the new Haverhill Plaistow and Newton line, as rails extend two miles from Seabrook and a bridge over the Blackwater River nears completion. Piles have been driven and river work proceeds from both sides, with river depth and width complicating pile driving.
