Excerpt from The Express Service and Rates Express service in the United States was inaugurated by William F. Harnden, a resident of Boston and at one time a conductor on the Boston' Worcester Railroad. As is the case with many other lines of industry, it was started in a small way. Prior to the year 1839, there was no express service, as we know it now, in this or any other country. The stage drivers conducted a service somewhat akin to ex press, but it was not called by that name. Whatever revenue may have been derived from this source seems to have been a perquisite of the stage driver. Upon the completion of the Boston Worcester and the Boston Providence railroads, the conductors would undertake to carry parcels and do an errand business on their own account. It is stated, however, that three times as many parcels as conductors carried went by private hands without cost.
