Work  on  the  Interstate  line  was  commenced  in  Ai)ril.  ls91.  and  was  so  far  completed  as  to
be  open  for  tratlic  on  July  17.  is92,  ami  Ihroiigh  to  I'awtuckct  on  the  23d.  Two  cars  were
run  from  North  Attleborough  to  OMtown  (West  Attleborough)  on  August  13,  1892.  The
promotion  of  this  enterprise  was  watched  with  great  interest  by  the  people  of  this  village  and
South  Attleborough,  and  the  appearance  of  the  first  cars  over  the  road  was  the  signal  for  a
jjublic  dcfmoiistration  after  the  true  American  fashion  —  bell-ringing,  fireworks,  etc.  The
portion  of  the  route  toward  Attleborough  was  ready  for  tr;iffi<'  October  1.").  1892.  and  on
November  1  following  the  comi)any  was  rutming  one  car  at  the;  other  end,  from  Attleborough
to  Ilebronville;  ami  on  December  4  cars  comim-nccd  running  between  those  two  villag<!s,  con-
necting with  cars  from  Pawtucket.  For  sonic  time  a  change  of  cars  at  Ilebronville  was  neces-
sary, as  the  Interstate  i-ould  not  cross  the  Old  <'olony  line  at  grade.  Later  that  grade-crossing
waH  abolished  and  the  (dd  town  roail  closed  at  that  point,  the  depot  at  Ilebronville.  A  bridge
wa.->  built  o\er  the  railroa<l  tracks  a  numiter  of  rods  to  the  east  and  the  town  road  changed,  its
was  necesHjiry.  Over  this  road  the  Interstate  tra<'ks  were  laid  and  passengers  enabled  to  ride
through  to  Pawtucket  without  change.
