	Brief History of Revere
		The City of Revere is situated in eastern Massachusetts (Suffolk County) and borders Winthrop, East Boston and Chelsea to the South, Everett and Malden to the West, Saugus and Lynn to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
		The completion of the Eastern Railroad, in 1838, (later to become the Boston and Maine) and the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn railroad (the Narrow Gauge) in 1875 signaled the beginning of rapid population growth for the town and the development of the Beach as a summer resort.
		By this time, the Beach had become a lively and heavily used resort area, but because of the closeness of the tracks to the water at high tide and the number of beach structures, it was not safe.

	Meet Boston, Jan. 24, 1941
		The line from Boston to Lynn was started in 1871, as a low-fare competition for the old "Eastern Railroad," which also ran to a terminus on the East Boston waterfront and required a ferry from that point to serve as connection into town.
		The new road also served the growing beach district which had recently changed its name from Chelsea Beach to Revere Beach, and the growth of Revere Beach from then on was largely due to the little passenger trains that kept coming through, bringing people to and from Boston or Lynn.
		The narrow railroad, with its tiny trains and almost miniature locomotives, was an interesting sight as well as useful transportation for nearly 70 years.
