About HALL AND EMSLIE INC

The first train out of the Manchester depot leaves while the streetlights are still burning, and somebody has to make sure the lot and the walk to the platform are passable before it does. HALL AND EMSLIE INC keeps that early clock all winter, moving from Central Street to the lanes above Masconomo Park with the plow down. Coastal storms in Manchester-by-the-Sea rarely behave: an inch of glaze under six of powder, a wind that fills a shoveled path back in twenty minutes. Cleared steps, sanded walkways, a lot squared off at the corners so the banks don't creep inward by February — that is the whole job, repeated without complaint. Commuters step out into a cleared morning and never think about it, which is exactly the point.
