Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners: January, 1878
The Railroad Commissioners respectfully submit their Ninth Annual Report.
Railroad Construction.
In the last (eight) report of this Board attention was called to the fact, that for the first time since the work of building railroads in Massachusetts began, in 1835, it had during the year for which that report was made (1875-6) practically ceased. No new enterprise had been completed during the year, and the average annual construction of 50 miles during the forty previous years had fallen during that year to only 20 miles. The same condition of affairs as respects new construction which prevailed in 1875-6 continued in an even more marked degree throughout 1876-7. But 17.250 miles of new road in all were built, of which only 6.620 miles were of the standard (4 feet 8½ inches) gauge, while 10.630 miles were of the narrow gauges.
