  • Making the Case for Expanding Commuter Rail Service Between Worcester and Boston
    AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT CONNECTING THE HEART OF THE COMMONWEALTH WITH THE HUB OF THE UNIVERSE: MAKING THE CASE FOR EXPANDING COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE BETWEEN WORCESTER AND BOSTON Report No. 00-1 January 27, 2000 500 Salisbury Street • Worcester, Massachusetts • 01609-1296 •Telephone: 508/799-7169 Facsimile: 508/799-4720 • www.wrrb.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The MBTA should introduce expanded commuter rail service to Worcester consisting of ten operations in each direction per weekday as promised in the final environmental impact report issued by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs in 1997. That report projected that by 2001 daily weekday inbound ridership at the Worcester Station would reach 414 passengers. The MBTA's most recent ridership audit (February 1999) indicates that current inbound ridership is 917 or more than double the projected number. From these figures (which do not include the number of passengers returning to Worcester), it would appear that the demand warrants additional service. Furthermore, even under the new system of assessing the efficiency of MBTA services that was established in the FY00 State Budget, it is likely that the expanded commuter rail service between Worcester and Boston would be deemed economically feasible. Finally, the amount of commuter parking available and planned in Worcester compares very favorably with other stations on the Framingham line. (Worcester has one parking space available for every 2.2 passengers whereas Framingham has one for every 13.5 passengers.) The main obstacle to expanded service appears to be the limited availability of rolling stock (locomotives and particularly passenger coaches) that expanded rail service would require.

  • Scenes from a Lost Hotel: the Cape Codder, 1930-1945 by Norah Schneider, Collections Manager
    Scenes from a Lost Hotel: The Cape Codder, 1930-1945 by Norah Schneider, Collections Manager Most people are familiar with the Cape Codder Hotel in West Falmouth. Opened as the Sippewissett Hotel in 1900 by John C. Haynes on the former site of Richard L. Swift’s sheep farm, over the years it was also called the Cleveland Hotel and the Mayflower Hotel. In 1930, owners Mr. and Mrs. Percival F. Brine renamed it the Cape Codder. When Captain John R. Peterson leased it in 1936—later buying it in 1940—he kept the name, and so it was known until the hotel was torn down to make room for condos in 1988. Well, if those walls could have talked . Fortunately for us, The Enterprise served as the social media of the day, so tales of the Cape Codder still remain today. Police activity at the Cape Codder in July 1936 resulted from two illegal slot machines—one nickel machine and one dime machine. Falmouth police seized the machines and hotel manager Charles Edward pleaded guilty to “possessing gaming implements.”1 The Cape Codder Hotel and its signs became the center of town and state debates in the summer of 1937. In July, Falmouth selectmen would not allow owner John R. Peterson to maintain three signs measuring eighteen square feet and directing traffic to the hotel. A few weeks later, the state Department of Public Works found three signs illegally on Route 28 in Falmouth—two advertising the Cape Codder and one advertising Charlotte Crest campground.2 The Boston Shamrocks, a team in the American Football League and 1936 champions, trained for their season opener at the Cape Codder in 1 “Slot Machines Seized,” Falmouth Enterprise, Thursday, July 16, 1936, 1.
