On this railroad the remedies have not only been talked about; they have been executed." So said the American Electric Railway Association when it awarded the Coffin Medal for excellence to the North Shore Line; and, indeed, this ability to adopt improvements rather than to ·debate upon them is characteristic of the North Shore Line, and one of the strongest holds upon the public's confidence. Operating in an age when the most amazing mechanical advances have been made, the North Shore Line takes a very real pride in incorporating every tested improvement into its own service. It is alert for the latest - if it is the best. The North Shore Line is distinctly a ·progressive transportation system, tuned to the age and territory in which it is operating.
