This Boston Elevated Railways Company Stock Certificate was issued in 1913 and is hand signed by the company president.
The Boston Elevated Railways Company, formed in 1894, was a
pivotal player in the development of public transportation in Boston,
Massachusetts. It initially consolidated several existing streetcar lines and
began operating elevated trains, which were essential for easing congestion in
the rapidly growing city. The company’s network expanded over the years, with
significant projects like the construction of the Tremont Street Subway, the
first underground subway in the U.S., completed in 1897. Throughout the early
20th century, the company evolved its services, transitioning from elevated
trains to a more comprehensive system that included subways and surface
transit. In 1964, the company was absorbed into the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (MBTA), which continues to operate the transit system
today.
