NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Electric Power to be Substituted for 
Steam on the Gloucester Branch? 
Is the Gloucester branch of the Bos- 
ton & Maine railroad to be equipped 
with electricity? 
For sometime it has been rumored that 
one of.the numerous branches of the 
system would substitute electric for steam 
power and there has been much specu- 
lation as to which branch it would be. 
The Cape Ann News has the following to 
say on the matter: 
Recent developements make it highly 
probable that the Gloucester branch will 
be the first to be equipped with electric- 
ity and that during the coming summer 
electric trains will be run with great fre- 
quency between Rockport and Beverly. 
In talking with a prominent B. & M. 
official recently in Boston, the subject of 
substituting .electricity for steam was 
broached by a News reporter, and the 
official in reply said: “‘If the B. & M. 
carry out their plans this summer you 
will probably be riding in electric cars 
over the Gloucester branch before many 
months. ‘The road has had in contem- 
plation for some time the equipment of 
one or more of its branches with elec- 
tricity and if the experiment proves suc- 
cessful electric power will gradually sup- 
plant steam on all the important branches 
of the road. 
“The Gloucester branch has practic- 
ally been decided upon as the best strip 
of road upon which to try the experiment 
If you see it in our Adv.—It’s So. 
of running electric trains. In the summer 
time there are many thousand visitors 
along the North Shore from Beverly to 
Rockport and every year the number in- 
creases. ‘hey demand a more frequent 
service between stations than we can af- 
ford to give them with steam trains and 
it is with the idea of meeting this demand 
that the company has decided to equip 
the branch with electricity. 
“*The double tracking of the road from 
Magnolia to Gloucester will be pushed 
ahead rapidly now that the weather is 
getting settled, and I expect that by the 
middle of the summer electric trains will 
be running over the branch. The cars 
would probably be attached to the through 
trains at Beverly for Boston and the re- 
sult would be a much better service for 
the people living along the Gloucester 
branch, than they now enjoy.’’
