[edit] Waltham and Newton Street Railway

   1. RAILROAD: Waltham & Newton Street Railway
   2. LINE_OF_RD: Weston Street, Waltham to Highland Street, West Newton.
   3. ORIGIN:  
   4. CURRENT: Street Railway
   5. SUCCESSORS:  
   6. TEXT: P1886 Weston Street, Waltham to Highland Street, West Newton, 3.21 miles.

Based on tracks shown on [1] and the beginnings of Weston and Highland Streets, the following distances were calculated:

• .68 mi - weston st to waltham center
• 1.29 mi - river st/lexington st to waltham center
• .85+.75=1.60 mi - above via crescent st
• .92 mi - river/lexington to highland st

Via Crescent Street, this is 3.20 miles. Assuming the beginnings of each street, and only one route, this was it. --SPUI (talk) 02:14, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
