Railroad Maps and Plans
In 1858, the Maine Legislature passed a law establishing the railroad commissioners, who were responsible for overseeing railroads in the State. From the 1880s to the 1910s many railroad plans were approved by the commissioners, and those plans now reside in the Archives. In 1913, the railroad commissioners were abolished and the new Public Utilities Commission assumed responsibility for railroad regulation.
