The Boston and Providence Railroad was a railway company that operated in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, connecting the cities of Boston and Providence. It opened in two stages, first in 1834 and then in 1835. It was one of the earliest railway lines in the United States. The company later built a more direct route into Providence in 1847. Over the years, additional branches were built to Dedham in 1834, Stoughton in 1845, and North Attleboro in 1871. In 1888, the railroad was acquired by the Old Colony Railroad, which was then leased by the New Haven Railroad in 1893. The line became the primary mainline to Boston for the New Haven Railroad. In 1899, the line was repositioned in Boston during the construction of South Station. Additionally, in 1916, there was a grade crossing elimination in Pawtucket and Central Falls. The line became part of the Penn Central system in 1969. In 1973, the Massachusetts section of the line was purchased by the state, while the Rhode Island section was acquired by Amtrak in 1976. The line was electrified in 2000 and now forms the far northern segment of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, serving high-speed Acela Express service, intercity Northeast Regional service, and MBTA Commuter Rail Providence/Stoughton Line local service. In Boston, the rapid transit MBTA Orange Line shares the right-of-way for several miles in the 1987-built Southwest Corridor section. The Stoughton Branch is also utilized for Providence/Stoughton Line service, and the northern section of the Dedham Branch is used by the Needham Line. Item ordered may not be exact piece shown.
