From the Biographical History of Massachusetts, Samuel Atkins Eliot, Editor in Chief, Massachusetts Biographical Society, Boston, Massachusetts, 1911:
Lucius Tuttle, president of the Boston & Mane Railroad and of the Maine Central Railroad company, is a thorough-going New Englander by birth and lineage. He was born in one of the most characteristic of New England cities, Hartford, Connecticut on March 11, 1846, the son of George Tuttle and Mary (Loomis) Tuttle. His father was a descendant from William Tuttle, who came from St. Albans, England to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, landing from the ship Planter in the town of Boston and removing, in company with his wife Elizabeth, to New Haven Colony in 1638. The Tuttle family is of old English origin, and the name was variously written Tothill or Totehill, signifying Lookout Hill, an eminence or high place of observation. Mr. Tuttle’s mother was descended from Joseph Loomis of Bristol, England, who came to America in the ship Susan and Ellen, in July, 1638, landing at Nantasket, and settling the next year in Windsor, Connecticut. Thus President Tuttle is doubly linked to that sterling race of men and women who laid the first foundations of New England.

Receiving a good sound education in the Hartford public grammar and high schools, Mr. Tuttle at twenty ears of age began his career as a railroad man, starting at the lowest grade and mastering one after another the elementary details of the great trade of transportation. He held positions successively with the Hartford, Providence & Fishkill, the New York & New England, the Eastern, the Boston & Maine, and the Canadian Pacific Railroads between 1865 and 1889, rising steadily from one grade to another through sheer merit and proved ability until, in 1889, he was called to the important post of commissioner of the Trunk Line Association. This was a notable mark of confidence in Mr. Tuttle on the part of his fellow railroad men. They believed not only in his practical ability but in his integrity and sense of justice.

This post of commissioner Mr. Tuttle had held but for about a year when he was offered and accepted the general management of the New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad, one of the most important railroad systems in the United States. Two years later Mr. Tuttle was promoted to the vice-presidency of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, resigning this place when a year later, in 1893, the directors of the Boston & Maine Railroad elected him the president of that system, which holds as important a relation to northern as the New York, New Haven & Hartford does to southern New England. In 1896 there was added to the honors and responsibilities of Mr. Tuttle the presidency of the Maine Central Railroad company. Thus Mr. Tuttle became the dominant personal factor in the northern New England railroad situation.

This record of unbroken progress is eloquent of the industry and power of Mr. Tuttle as a railroad manager -- of his genius for organization, for controlling men, and for meeting every emergency that arises in the complex and difficult work of transportation. His natural abilities are great, and they have been constantly broadened by his many years of large, practical experience. He is unquestionably one of the most remarkable of the men of power whom the American railroads of our time have developed. Mr. Tuttle has shown himself to be not only a great railroad manager, but a great force in every way in the rich and populous community served by the Boston & Maine system.

He has seen this system expand under his control until in point of mileage, and more particularly in tonnage carried, it has come to rank as one of the most efficient transportation plants in the entire world. The Boston & Maine under his management has more than kept pace with the demands of industrial New England. He has provided an ever-improving service, and at the same time has substantially lowered rates. The contrast between railroad conditions in northern New England when he took command and conditions now is manifest to every traveler and business man who is at all familiar with the Boston & Maine system. The advancement in the efficiency of this property has been achieved in such a sagacious way that never at any time has there been a serious strain upon the resources of the road, and it has become more valuable and profitable than ever to its stockholders. Mr. Tuttle’s career at the head of the Boston & Maine has been an era of unbroken and unparalleled prosperity.
Not only has Mr. Tuttle wrought a distinct evolution in the character of the local railroad service throughout northern New England, but he has improved the relations of the Boston & Maine system with the great trunk lines reaching the far West of the United States and Canada and tapping the mighty reservoirs of export trade. This has been an especially difficult undertaking because of the fierce competition of other ports and sections of the country, possessing many natural advantages and, moreover, aided often by discriminatory regulations and legislation. Nevertheless, President Tuttle has persevered and has been a masterful leader in the fight for fair play for Massachusetts and New England. He has made the Boston & Maine count more heavily than ever as a power in the export trade, to the profit of its owners and the benefit of the towns and cities through which its lines run to reach the seaboard.

Though a very busy man, President Tuttle has been conspicuous throughout his residence in Boston for his alert interest in large public affairs. He has contributed materially to the successful movement of the deepening and improvement of Boston Harbor so that its great terminal facilities may have the advantage of constant connection with the largest and, therefore, the most efficient and economical of ocean steamers. He has shown consummate tact and fairness in all his dealings with the great number of men in his employ, and he is recognized throughout New England as one of the wisest and most genuine of friends of industrious and deserving labor.

A member of many of the chief mercantile and philanthropic associations of Boston, Mr. Tuttle is one of the most conspicuous and influential citizens of the community. His habit of quick, decisive thought and frank expression has won for him a post of leadership in the consideration of many an important public question. He is a ready and forceful public speaker, combining the directness of the business man with much of the ease and grace of the finished and accustomed orator. President Tuttle has been called frequently year after year before legislative committees, and his counsel has been solicited and carefully studied by public men. His wide experience, his breadth of view and the confidence with which his fellow men have learned to listen to his judgment have been powerful to avert hostile legislation in the New England States and have helped mightily to hold their legislation along conservative lines at a time when the country at large has seemed to be seized with an infatuation for persecuting railroad properties.

Perhaps the railroads of some other states and sections would have been more fortunate if they had possessed more men like Mr. Tuttle who believe unequivocally in the principles of the Golden Rule and never forget that the great corporation has beery great and serious obligations to the public. Mr. Tuttle has always taken advanced views in regard to the duties of the railroads. He has advocated reasonable rates and has earnestly opposed preferential or discriminating rates. Time and time again he has urged in railroad conferences and elsewhere that first of all the freight rates of the country should be adjusted on a basis that all competent railroad men could maintain without injustice as between communities or individuals. Mr. Tuttle is a firm believer in co-operation and he holds that the laws of trade are inexorable, and that like the laws of nature they will in time prevail over all unwise attempted regulations which are contrary to the inherent necessities of trade and commerce. He does not disapprove of combinations that are properly organized and wisely and fairly managed -- and he has good proof here in his own system, which, unified and ably controlled along broad lines, has done far more than the old, separate, unsympathetic and discordant lines could do for the upbuilding of New England. President Tuttle believes in publicity as to all corporations whose securities the people are asked to invest. He is, in a word, a broad man of genuine statesmanlike caliber, of a type of which it would be well if there were many more in the railroad service of America.

His experience has covered every department of transportation, both of passengers and of freight. He has been brought for many years into close contact with people of many kinds. He has an intimate knowledge of human nature. His profession, as exacting in many ways as the most arduous military service, has kept his naturally great powers trained to the highest point of efficiency. Such a man is quick to understand and sympathize with other men, and is wonderfully well equipped for the leadership of other men in every undertaking for the benefit of the community.

A descendant of the Puritans, Mr. Tuttle is of the Congregationalist faith, and an active figure in the historic Old South church of Boston, which he and his family have attended for many years. He is a conspicuous member of the Old South club and a frequent speaker at the various conventions of the benevolent and social organizations of the church. Mr. Tuttle has been one of the Bostonians who have loyally upheld the work of the Young Men’s Christian Association and made it such a force in this community. He has been interested especially in the branches of the Association that have been devoted to the welfare of the young men employed in our railroad service, a line of effort in which the Association has been of late years notably active and successful.

President Tuttle has a fine, hospitable city home on Beacon Street, Brookline. He was married on October 14, 1875, to Estelle Hazen, daughter of George H. and Sarah (Hopkins) Martin, of Norwich, Connecticut. Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle have three daughters; all of them are married.

Mr. Tuttle is a member of the corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; a trustee of Clark College, Worcester; president of the New England civic Federation; director of the Second National Bank, Boston; director of the Old colony Trust company, Boston; member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce; member of the Algonquin, Commercial, and Merchants Clubs and of the Beacon Society.
