Freight traffic on the route is handled by the NBSR. The range consists of two historically different parts. From Brownsville Junction to Mattawamkeag it was established in 1889 by the International Railway of Maine. The subsequent part of the track to Vanceboro existed since 1871 and was part of the network of European and North American Railway, which had also built the present NBSR Range in New Brunswick.
