Construction of the 32 mile long Buctouche and Moncton Railway line from Moncton to Buctouche began in 1886 and was completed the following year. The line went bankrupt in 1894 and was sold to a Captain Israel J. Merritt of New York. In 1911 the line was taken over by the Buctouche Railway and Transportation Company which renamed the line the Moncton and Northumberland Strait Railway Company. Finally the line was purchased in 1918 for $70,000 and put under the control of the Intercolonial Railway before being made part of the Canadian National system. In 1965 all but a small section of the money-losing line was abandoned.
