The Central Railway Company (CRofNB) was chartered in 1871 to build a railroad from Fredericton to a location near Hampton, where it would join up with the European and North American Railway.
Construction began at Norton and proceeded to Chipman by 1888. The CRofNB did not build any farther.
The CRofNB was purchased by the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company in 1903.
