This book presents the arguments made before a Massachusetts legislative committee on behalf of a group of petitioners seeking to construct a railroad branch connecting Salem to Boston via Malden. The petitioners sought to demonstrate the need for improved rail access for the towns of Danvers, Lynn, Saugus, and Malden, citing the inconvenience and unreliability of the existing ferry connection at East Boston. The author argues that a rail branch to Malden would provide a faster, more reliable, and more convenient transportation option for these communities while avoiding the delays and hazards associated with the ferry. The author further contends that the proposed branch would stimulate economic growth and development in the region and would not adversely impact the operations of the Eastern Railroad Company, which opposed the petition. The book offers a detailed analysis of the arguments presented before the legislative committee, providing insights into the legal, economic, and social factors that shaped the debate over railroad development in Massachusetts during the mid-19th century.
