This is a 4-4-0 wood
burning New Brunswick
and Canada Railroad steam
engine. The New Brunswick
and Canada Railroad ran
a line into Houlton in 1870
with the first train arriving
at noon on November 9,
1870 (twenty-three years
before the Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad came
to Houlton}. A spur line of
the New Brunswick and
Canada Railroad line went to
the Houlton Dressed Meat
Company on the corner
of Pleasant and Foxcroft
Roads. Shipments of lamb South Fork of the Meduxnekeag River near
traveled by rail to Saint John, NB and then by Boat to Boston. The main line traveled Cary’s Mills – circa 1890
diagonally across lot 27 of the late Shepard Cary to its terminus at the Houlton Station.
Cary had been instrumental in locating the railroad just east of the border in Debec, NB in
1862. This facilitated the later development of the line into Houlton. The New Brunswick
and Canada Railroad later became part of the Canadian and Pacific Railroad. Alumni Board Members
