The railroad line was built in 1849 which was well before any development occured on the then remote lake. The train travels through the front yards of many of the fine resort homes. Once a part of the Boston & Maine Railroad that brought tourists to the lake for summer vacations from the late 1890’s to the 1950’s. Weirs Beach was a busy summer resort with many fine "Grand Style Hotels” lining the shore of the lake.
