GRAND TRUNK

THE GRAND TRUNK OF NEW ENGLAND

CANADIAN NATIONAL LINES IN NEW ENGLAND

When the Grand Trunk Railway became part of the Canadian National System in 1923 its subsidiary in New England retained the name Grand Trunk. The portion of the Grand Trunk in the midwestern states became the Grand Trunk Western, also part of the Canadian National and a source of confusion about the two seperated parts of the old Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. The Grand Trunk ran for 172 miles from Portland, Maine through Berlin and Gorham, New Hampshire to Norton, Vermont on the Canadian border not far from Island Pond. Some of the locomotives used on the Grand Trunk carried that name but Canadian National locomotives were also used. In this section are pictured only Grand Trunk New England engines or engines photographed on the Grand Trunk of New England.
