Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Reminiscences of Festus C. Currier: Born at Holliston, Mass;, October 6, 1825; Fitchburh, Mass;, May, 1900 Within the decade from 1830 to 1840, the introduction of railroads, Operated by steam, into this state, was success fully completed, and some important lines were built and placed in successful Operation. The road from Boston to Providence, R. I., was completed; the-boston Worcester followed next. This road was built as far as Westboro late in 1834. When it got up as far as the town Of Hopkinton (now Ashland), the town authorities, with citizens of the village, got up a celebration to publicly receive the first train, and give it due recognition, such as this important event demanded. Up to this time hardly any one in the country had ever seen a railway train. Therefore it was a great novelty. The people came from all the surrounding towns to see this most wonderful sight, the first railway train ever run in this part Of the state. I went with my father and older brother to this place, a distance of about five miles, to see this remarkable show - an experiment, as it was then called, and many thought it only an experiment, and doubted its success. It was frequently remarked within my hearing that day, that it would never amount to much, and doubts wereeverywhere prevalent regarding its per manent success. Capitalists hesitated to invest in the stock, or to render aid or encouragement to an enterprise so doubtful. This was the case through out the state, and the progress of the great improvement was somewhat slow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
