- Hi, I have a question on the name of an old railroad.
- Was the Burlington, Chicago, and Quincy the name of an old rr?
- Or was it another combination of the 3 names...
- I was in class on civil liberties and we were talking about emment domain
- and my prof. told us of how this rr was involved in such a case
- but lost because of its merits of the case( evidence), but the supreme
- court acknolwedged taht the 14th ammendment apllied in some cases to the states.
-
- on another note. Last Sat. I read in the Boston Globe that the MBTA was
- going to constuct another subway line that begins in South Station, goes to
- Boston City Hospital (through Roxbury), continue towards the Longwood Medical
- District, and go to Cambridge. Wouldn't it make sense if this line terminated
- at the Bodwen (sp?) subway station on the Blue Line because then it would
- be a lot easier to get to Logan Airport from certain neighborhoods in Boston
- via the T. Why should a person have to change lines to get to Logan
- if the T said that another line was going to built?? Shouldn't this new
- line just be an extension of the Blue Line???
