Boston and Worcester Street Railway

In Newton, the B&W was granted a franchise in exchange for constructing a 90-foot (27 m) wide boulevard, of which it ran down the median.

Service operated every half-hour, with short turn cars providing fifteen-minute frequency east of Framingham.

The B&W arranged control of several connecting roads in 1899 and purchased them in 1903–04:[6][7] The B&W opened a short branch to Natick Center in 1909.

On July 3, 1926, the B&W began operating a Boston–Worcester bus line that followed the turnpike west of Shrewsbury, and the Post Road east of Northborough.

[11] The line was cut back to Framingham on January 15, 1931, as paving of the turnpike progressed eastward, with buses replacing the western half.

[13] The main line ran along the old Boston and Worcester Turnpike (now Route 9) for most of its length.

[15]: 35–36 Between Lake Junction and Whites Corner in Southborough, the B&W used a private right-of-way roughly paralleling the Turnpike.

Hudson service ran to Whites Corner, South Framingham, Chestnut Hill, and Park Square at various times.
