The last connecting link of trolley
travel between New York and Bos
ton was forged temporarily for the
passage of car No. 500 over the Dar
ien river at Darien. Rails were laid
which were taken up after its passage
and relid 1st night for the return trip \
of the special car to its home in Con
necticut companys barns. There is
an application before the selectmen
of Darien for permission to lay per
manent rails cross the Darien river
bridge, and when granted they will
complete the steel troley bond be-!
tween the .Massachusetts and New !
York centers. When that is done i
there will be a continuous trolley !
line from New York via Boston to
Waterviile, Me., a distance of about
500 miles by that route.
