The Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad was originally chartered in 1867 to run from Portland, Maine, to Carroll, New Hampshire (Coos County), in the White Mountains, and then west to Ogdensburg, New York, connecting the seacoast with the Great Lakes. Track reached Conway, New Hampshire (Carroll County) in 1871 and Bartlett in 1873. It reached Bemis, later known as Notchland, in 1874 and Fabyan in August 1875. There, the line connected with the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad. Construction of the railroad was considered one of the engineering marvels of the time. The completion of the railroad through the Notch had significant impact on both the tourist industry and the logging industry. The railroad through the Notch (and beyond) opened up the timber resources of the interior portions of the White Mountains.
