The Maine Central Railroad Company was a former U. S. Class I railroad in central and southern Maine. It was chartered in 1856 and began operations in 1862. By 1884, Maine Central was the longest railroad in New England.
In 1882, Maine Central leased the European and North American Railway (E&NA) between Bangor and Vanceboro.
Maine Central had expanded to 1,358 miles (2,185 km) when the United States Railroad Administration assumed control in 1917.
