The transit rights-of-way page has been updated with some great railroad and trolley maps circa 1910 and earlier. The trolley map is particularly striking; today we are told that rail electrification is infeasible, but the map shows that nearly every main street in eastern Massachusetts had an electric trolley in 1910. Amazing.
