Fall River Subdivision

The Fall River Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The line runs from the New Bedford Subdivision at Myricks (in Berkley) south to Fall River [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20030120051529/www.trainweb.org/csxtimetables/Albany/FallRiver.html CSX Timetables: Fall River Subdivision] ] along a former New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad line. At its south end, at the Rhode Island state line in Fall River, it becomes a line of the Providence and Worcester Railroad.

History

The Fall River Branch Railroad completed the line from Myricks south to Fall River in 1845. [PDFlink| [http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR1845%20Mar%2005.pdf PRR Chronology, 1845] |40.4 KiB , March 2005 Edition] The Old Colony and Newport Railroad extended the line to Newport, Rhode Island in 1864. [Hon. Edward Appleton, Railway Commissioner, [http://www.catskillarchive.com/rrextra/abnere1.Html History of the Railways of Massachusetts] , 1871] The line became part of the NYNH&H and Conrail through leases, mergers, and takeovers; the part in Massachusetts was assigned to CSX in the 1999 breakup of Conrail.
