The Wolfeborough Railroad Company was founded on July 1, 1868 and it built a 12-mile-long standard gauge short line from the Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad's tracks in Sanbornville, New Hampshire (formerly known as Wolfeborough Junction) to Wolfeboro. Construction on the line began in November 1871, and the line was open for traffic on August 19, 1872. On January 6, 1872, the Eastern Railroad leased the Wolfeboro Railroad for a period of 68 years. The Boston & Maine took over operations on the Eastern, including the Wolfeboro Railroad on June 30, 1893. Note my brown '76 TR6 behind the fence, great car.
