St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad
The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad (SLR) is a local railroad company in Vermont , New Hampshire and Maine ( USA ) and in the Canadian province of Québec with headquarters in Auburn (Maine) . The Canadian subsidiary St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad (Canada) or Chemin de fer St-Laurent et Atlantique Quebec is based in Richmond (Québec) .
It operates the former Canadian National Line from Portland (Maine) to Sainte-Rosalie (Québec) with a length of 417 kilometers and three short branch lines to Lewiston , Norway and in the urban area of Berlin . In Danville Junction (Maine) there is a transition to the Pan Am Railways , in Groveton (New Hampshire) to the New Hampshire and Vermont Railroad , in North Stratford (New Hampshire) to the New Hampshire Central Railroad and in Sainte-Rosalie (Québec) the Canadian National Railway (CN). Only goods traffic takes place on the route.
The company was founded in 1989 as a subsidiary of the Emons Transportation Group and on May 19 of that year bought the US route from the CN. She later founded the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad (Canada) and also acquired the route to Ste.-Rosalie. Around 1996 the SLR bought the Berlin Mills Railway and with it the siding to the Burgess Mill in Berlin. Today Genesee and Wyoming owns and operates the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad.
In 2007 the SLR had a fleet of 25 EMD diesel locomotives of different series: two SW1 (from the Berlin Mills Railway), five RM1 Slug , three leased GP15-1 , one also leased GP38-2 , seven GP40 , three GP40-2 and four GP40-3M .
