Affordable passenger trains also increased the mobility of residents along the railroad. To better reach the docks in Providence, tracks were constructed south towards the water along city streets between 1852 and 1853, eventually reaching Fox Point where steamships docked. In May 1853, the owners of the Norfolk County Railroad were able to purchase a majority of the Providence and Worcester's stock, by paying well above market value for shares. This purchase was an attempt to use the P&W as a means to route more traffic along the Norfolk County Railroad, which was bankrupt as a result of insufficient business, and by consequence increase the value of that company's stock. The efforts of the Norfolk County Railroad culminated in an attempt at a hostile takeover, when shareholders from that railroad tried to add ten new members to the company's board of directors. The company's president and clerk refused to recognize a vote to approve the new directors, defeating the attempt and leaving the stockholders from the "ricketty and bankrupt" Norfolk County Railroad with nothing but $100,000 ($3.26 million in 2021) in debt to show for their efforts.

A photo of the 1853 collision in Valley Falls, Rhode Island That same year, the worst accident in the company's history occurred in Valley Falls, Rhode Island. Two trains collided head-on, resulting in 14 fatalities. The fallout of this incident was partially responsible for the P&W double tracking its mainline, which began shortly after the accident. This proceeded slowly, and the final section of single track wasn't upgraded until 1885, 32 years later. The P&W benefited from a general increase in economic activity and shipping during the American Civil War; though little of its freight was directly related to the war effort, the company paid off all its debts and invested $20,000 ($347,000 in 2021) on track improvements in 1864 alone ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 15:33:07 +0200 From: "Long Island New York Bagels" Subject: New York's Best Bagels delivers Nationwide New York's Best Bagels delivers Nationwide http://brainsavior.shop/T_ZoTQBDcLQAH4t7d7dYaUwX88LpiUDJ4i2nF-ONmDZ_af3h3w http://brainsavior.shop/TOBSJ31RsgbVWKx1vZgzZVN-J81LSIPFgCaOeEkYONwJyZPfnA Continued money problems and the Great Depression brought the New Haven into bankruptcy in 1935, but the P&W's lessee continued to make its lease payments on time. When the New Haven emerged from its long bankruptcy in 1947, the P&W remained a leased property, along with the Norwich and Worcester Railroad and Holyoke and Westfield Railroad; it did not join the fate of most New Haven lessors which were consolidated. A New Haven Railroad passenger train in Providence in 1968, shortly before the Penn Central takeover Both freight and passenger train traffic were initially strong under New Haven control. Fifteen passenger trains traveled the line each day in 1919, but by 1935 just one passenger train ran each way. The State of Maine Express, which connected New York City and Portland, Maine, began using the P&W route in 1946, adding a second train on the line each way daily. The New Haven began removing the double track on the P&W mainline in the 1950s, and it was reduced to a single track with passing sidings by 1963. Passenger train service on the line was cut back during the 1950s as well; after experimenting with four local trains each way in 1953, the New Haven cut the schedule back to one local round trip per day in 1954; this round trip was also discontinued by 1957. The State of Maine Express ended operations in 1960, leaving no passenger trains on the line. Freight traffic also declined from the 1950s onward, as the Blackstone Valley's mills largely closed down and relocated to the Southern United States and trucking eroded railroad market share. In response to the declines in both passenger and freight traffic, the P&W's electric signal system was dismantled and the second track largely removed to lower maintenance costs. On July 7, 1961, the New Haven declared bankruptcy for a second and final time ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11131 ***********************************************
