Excerpt from Trolley Trips Through Southern New England: New York, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, Boston

If we wish to stop over at any point it is easy to do so, and the next car will carry us along on our journey. A great many people have found a trip, even as long as from New York to Boston, delightful and profitable, and the number of long-distance trolley travelers is increasing rapidly.

The route of the trolley cars is, for a good part of the distance along the shore of Long Island Sound, either on or near the old Boston Post Road, and some reminders of Benjamin Franklin and his efforts in establishing good postal service in the Colonies are still to be seen, notably one of the old mile-stones set under his direction, which is still standing in Stratford and of which an illustration is given. But we are getting ahead of our story and must remem ber that New York is our starting point.
