Your bid is for the
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS of the WORCESTER AND NASHUA Railroad Company to
THE STOCKHOLDERS. JANUARY 1879. Printed by Chas. Hamilton, 311 Main Street in
Worcester in 1879. Although the report was printed in January 1879, in
preparation for the annual meeting on January 23rd of that year, the
report covers the financial conditions and operating results for the year
ending September 30th, 1878. This pamphlet measures 14.8 by 23.1 cm
and contains 16 pages, plus the wraps designed to protect the string binding. The
W&N RR began operating in 1848 between the 2nd largest city in
Massachusetts and the largest city in southern New Hampshire. It was merged in
1883 with the Nashua & Rochester RR to form the Worcester, Nashua &
Rochester RR. The WN&R was leased by the B&M RR in 1886 to form the
Worcester, Nashua & Portland Division of the Boston & Maine. The
WN&P was famed for its grades, curves and wrecks and that explains why all
the is left today is a possible path through the woods, the Nashua River Rail
Trail, and the busy CSX line between Worcester and Ayer, Mass. This document is
in excellent condition but many years ago the front wrap must have been damaged
or lost as I made a replacement to protect the string binding. I also put my
name and address label on the title page inside. It is lightly scanned because
of the string binding. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please see my other
eBay auctions for more rare and scarce railroad paper. I provide personal
service while trying to keep things simple. Please check my feedback and DSR's.
Everything I sell is POSTPAID USA, so the winning bid is what you pay, plus
eBay’s state tax if applicable, unless you want special services. I normally
ship the first day after the auction ends IF eBay provides a packing slip.
Thank you for reading. Alden Dreyer, 91 Reynolds Road, Shelburne MA 01370-9649.
