The Concord & Montreal Railroad was chartered in 1889 and only operated independently until 1895, when it was leased by the Boston & Maine railroad. It continued to exist as a seperate entity until it was formerly merged into the Boston & Maine railroad in 1919. This elegant structure, built in 1886, was the Concord train station, as well as the headquarters of the C&M. This beautiful building was torn down in 1960 to make way for the ugly Capitol Shopping Plaza.

Stock certificate, issued March 20, 1919, just a few months prior to the B&M’s takeover of the C&M on December 1, 1919. Notice the signature – it was signed by Benjamin Ames Kimball – President of the C&M, builder of Kimball’s Castle and the Lake Shore Railroad, and one of New Hampshire’s most important historical figures.
