Salem and Hillsborough Railroad
The Salem and Hillsborough Railroad ran from Salisbury to Harvey. Today, as you go up the road to the Big Stop from Salisbury’s Main Street, you cross the main rail line between Moncton and Saint John. The spur line from Hillsborough joined the main line there. Trains stopped overnight at Hillsborough Station where a hotel was available. The end of the line was Harvey Bank across from Riverside-Albert, near the then-active wharfs. Most of the remnants of the line are part of ATV trails today.
