Mileage[edit]
From the Interstate Commerce Commission's Fourteenth Annual Report of the Statistics of Railways in the United States for the year ending June 30, 1901: the Newport and Wickford Railroad Company owned 3.4 miles of railroad line. This can be found on page 142, and it also says the same railroad operates 3.4 miles of railroad line, which implies no trackage rights. It also says there was no change from the previous year. Poor's 1894 Manual of Railroads, on page 26, says 3.4 miles for the year ended June 30, 1893. TwoScars (talk) 16:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
