In the seventeenth century road transport was still at a very rudimentary stage of development, ensuring that on its finalisation the canal was in a position to dominate travel to and from the county.
As the railways offered a far speedier form of transport, their advent inevitably ensured the passing of the canal as the primary means of travel in the country and their initial arrival aroused a great deal of confrontation and bitterness between the canal companies and their new rivals.
This was only barely sustainable in the hey-day of railtransport, but on the coming of independence it was clear that it was not a situation which could be allowed to persist indefinitely.
There, Daniel Webster (Dartmouth Class of 1801), stood on brand new tracks and declared, "It is an extraordinary era in which we live." By -1850 there were 376 miles of track in the state, and thirty years later there were 1,200 miles.
Bellows Falls, a village in Rockingham, developed as both a transportation, manufacturing and commercial center after an east-west rail line was brought in from New Hampshire in 1849 and in 1851 was connected to a north-south line along the Connecticut River.
Rail accidents have been relatively few but spectacular, such as the one that occurred a few miles north of White River junction on February 5, 1887.
