Description

A railroad company that connected Boston and Portland, Maine. In 1840 the Eastern Railroad of New Hampshire was leased to the Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts. By 1843, the Eastern entered into an agreement with the Boston & Maine to share the Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad's tracks in Maine, which allowed both railroads to begin providing Boston-to-Portland service. On April 28, 1847, the Eastern and the Boston & Maine co-leased the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth.
