Berry Mills is a small, unincorporated community north-west of Moncton, New Brunswick. It is located around the main Canadian National Railway line, which was formerly the Intercolonial Railway of Canada line. Major Intersections include New Brunswick Route 128 and New Brunswick Route 2 as well as Homestead Road and New Brunswick Route 128. Berry Mills also includes the mostly forest area of Lutesville, New Brunswick.
The community was founded by, and named after, Jonathan Berry who established a water powered sawmill on land which he was granted. [1]
Berry Mills once hosted two separate rail lines through the community:
When the Canadian Government nationalized these two railways to form Canadian National Railway, the two lines were connected via junctions east in Moncton and west at Pacific Junction, and the rails were subsequently lifted from the former Intercolonial Railway route. This became the route of the Berry Mills Road, which is now New Brunswick Route 128.

The Intercolonial Railway of Canada, also referred to as the Intercolonial Railway (ICR), was a historic Canadian railway that operated from 1872 to 1918, when it became part of Canadian National Railways.

Canada has a large and well-developed railway system that primarily transports freight. There are two major publicly traded transcontinental freight railway systems, Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP). Nationwide passenger services are provided by the federal crown corporation Via Rail. Three Canadian cities have commuter train services: in the Montreal area by Exo, in the Toronto area by GO Transit, and in the Vancouver area by West Coast Express. These cities and several others are also served by light rail or metro systems. Only one (Toronto) has an extensive streetcar (tram) system. Smaller railways such as Ontario Northland Railway also run passenger trains to remote rural areas. The Rocky Mountaineer and Royal Canadian Pacific provide luxury rail tours for viewing scenery in the Canadian Rockies as well as other mountainous areas of British Columbia and Alberta.

The history of Moncton extends back thousands of years, with its first inhabitants being the First Nations of the region, such as the Mi'kmaq. Located in New Brunswick, Moncton's motto is Resurgo, which is Latin for I rise again. This motto was originally chosen in celebration of the city's rebirth in 1875 after the recovery of the economy from the collapse of the shipbuilding industry. The city again lived up to its motto in more recent times, when the economy of the city was devastated once more during the 1980s as a result of the city's largest employers all departing the city in short order. The city has since rebounded due to growth in the light manufacturing, technology, distribution, tourism, and retail sectors of the economy and is now the fastest growing city in Canada east of Toronto.

The Moncton & Bouctouche Railway was a historic railroad company in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. It was founded in 1883, at first as a Bouctouche and Moncton Railway, and built a 30-mile-long (48 km) section which branched off at Bouctouche Junction to the east of Moncton, New Brunswick, on the Intercolonial Railway, and continued north to Bouctouche, New Brunswick. The rail line was opened on September 1, 1887, and extended in the next year to Moncton, crossing the Intercolonial in Bouctouche Junction. The road had to fight with economic problems and was put up for compulsory auction in the end of 1894.
