The Boston, Clinton, Fitchburg and New Bedford Railroad was formed in 1876 from the merger of the Boston, Clinton, and Fitchburg Railroad with the New Bedford Railroad. In 1879, it was leased to the Old Colony Railroad, which absorbed it outright in 1883. Solomon Howe was a successful mill owner in Boxford, Massachusetts. Charles Burleigh (1824-1883) was a business man and machinist in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and one of the first directors of this railroad. In 1865, he invented the Burleigh Rock Drill and Patent Air Compressor for use on the Hoosac Tunnel in Western Massachusetts. He established the Burleigh Rock Drill Company in 1867. The Burleigh Rock Drill was used in mining and tunneling all over the world, including the Comstock Lode and the Transcontinental Railroad. Codice articolo 015922
