From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Troy and Boston Railroad was chartered November 22, 1849, completed Troy, New York to the Vermont state line (35 miles) in 1852. This was also the main track of the Troy and Rutland Railroad, Rutland and Washington Railroad, and the Western Railroad of Vermont. This formed, in connection with the Hudson River Railroad, the most direct and shortest line from New York to Montreal.[1] It was consolidated into the Fitchburg Railroad Company in 1887, which was in turn acquired by Boston and Maine Corporation by lease in 1900.
