The Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
was incorporated under the general
railroad law in 1891.
Aroostook County has an area of
6.40S square miles. Up to 1891 the
only settled portion Of the country
was along its eastern border and
northeastern boundaries. The only
railroads existing at y that time
were the Houlton branch built from
Debec Junction in New Brunswick to
Houlton, only three miles of this
branch being within the borders Of
the state Of Maine and the Aroostook
River Railroad, extending from the
Eastern boundary of the State to Car
ibou, Fort Fairfield and Pressure Isle,
about thirty miles in all. Both of
these roads were branches of the Ca
