visit link) The Wilmington and Northern Railroad was conceived in Delaware in 1861 as the Wilmington and Brandywine Railroad Company to run from the Christiana River in Wilmington towards Parkesburg, Pennsylvania. By 1866, through consolidations, it was incorporated in both Delaware and Pennsylvania as the Wilmington and Reading Railroad Company. After financial difficulties, the railroad was reorganized as the Wilmington and Northern in 1876.
