Historical Association Historical Context: “The trucking industry in the United States has affected the political and economic history of the United States in the 20th century. Before the invention of automobiles, most freight was moved by train or horse-drawn vehicle. “During World War I, the military was the first to use trucks extensively. With the increased construction of paved roads, trucking began to achieve significant foothold in the 1930s, and soon became subject to various government regulations (such as the hours of service). During the late 1950s and 1960s, trucking was accelerated by the construction of the Interstate Highway System, an extensive network of freeways linking major cities across the continent.”1 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_trucking_industry_in_the_United_States accessed 10/5/2018 CITY HALL ● 93 HIGHLAND AVENUE ● SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS 02143 (617) 625-6600 EXT. 2500 ● TTY: (617) 666-0001 ● FAX: (617) 625-0722 www.somervillema.gov Page 2 of 15 Date: October 16, 2018 Case: HPC 2018.100 Site: 151 Linwood Street Evolution of Site: taken from the NR Nomination Form for 1 Fitchburg Street Development of the Brick Bottom Neighborhood “(T)he streets of the adjacent Brick Bottom neighborhood were determined at a much earlier date.

    Technical Memorandum Bruce Freeman Rail Trail Concord, MA Cultural Resources Survey January 10, 2008 Submitted to: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. 530 Broadway Providence, Rhode Island 02909 Introduction The Town of Concord, Massachusetts has contracted with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) for professional design and engineering services for a non-motorized multi-use recreational path/rail trail over the 3.5 mile section of the proposed Bruce Freeman Rail Trail from the southerly side of Route 2 south to the Sudbury town line (Figure 1). The design and engineering services include a survey and documentation of the historic resources along the proposed trail alignment.

The survey’s purpose is to identify historic railroad-related resources along the rail corridor, to document these resources in writing and with photographs, and to provide recommendations for incorporating existing railroad infrastructure in and creating educational opportunities along the rail corridor. This technical memorandum describes the field and research methodologies employed by PAL in conducting fieldwork and archival research, presents the results of the field survey, and provides recommendations for the integration of railroad-related resources into the landscape design and interpretive programming elements of the finished rail trail. Methodology PAL employees John Daly (industrial historian) and Quinn Stuart (architectural assistant) completed a site walk of the 3.5-mile proposed rail trail corridor on August 23, 2007. Prior to the site walk, PAL employees met representatives of the Town of Concord to discuss priorities for the survey.

Fox) Promoters of the ill-fated Central Mass. Railroad hoped to reach west of New England, but they were lucky to make it to Northampton. (Railway & Locomotive Historical Society) Introduction The railroad that came to be known as the Central Massachusetts was chartered in 1868 at the peak of railroad fever. Every town wanted to be on a rail line. The Central Mass. has been described as “a railroad that should never have been built” and “an anachronism before the first spadeful of earth was turned.” (1) The original officers had no practical experience either in building or operating railroads.
