the first railway in America. The first

Me-, in 1886. the Quincy road antedat-
ing this several years. The Bangor
road began with two locomotives OF
S~tephenson's make in England. They
had no cabs for the driver or fireman
rude affairs were soon attached. Wood
was used for fuel.
The first cars also were made in
England, a carriage much like a big
stagecoach being placed on a rude
platform and trucks. The capacity OF
each car was eight passengers. In the
beginning the one train on the line
made about twelve miles in forty min
utes. and the people Of the country
round about marveled at the speed 1t
made.
The rails on these pioneer railways
we're made of strap iron. spiked down
to scantlings.
The Boston & Lowell. Boston &
Providence, and Boston & Worcester
railroads were all opened for traffic
in 1885.

railways built for them nine cars that
eclipsed anything that ever Travelled
across the North American continent.
The train was composed of a day
car and a night car, one compartment
sleeper, three standard sleepers. a
dining car, a baggage car and a car
for the railroad employees in charge of
the train. The exterior of the train
was finished In natural mahogany. the
standard for the company's sleeping
and parlor cars.
The two royal cars bore reproduc-
tons of the coats-of-arms of the dis
tinguished guests on each side at both
ends. The train was v%estibuled. Each
car was equipped with electric lights
and telephones.

There was also a dining room in
African coromandel with ornamental
cartouches displaying at one end the
coat-of-arms Of the king and at the
other end those of the Duke and
Duchess. The arms of the Dominion
and the Duke graced the other walls.
The panels of the walls were green

the upholstery a warm brown. There
were seats for eight.

rooms. one for the lady in waiting and
