History 
The railroad was formed in 2004, and that year leased a  long passing siding from CSX Transportation, along with a stub track leading to an automotive terminal under construction. Upon the opening of the Northeast Automotive Intermodal Gateway in late 2004, the East Brookfield and Spencer Railroad began operating to provide switching for the terminal.

Operations

Trains of automobiles are delivered to the site by CSX, while the switching of the trains for unloading is handled by the East Brookfield and Spencer Railroad. It is estimated the railroad handles around 23,000 autoracks per year.
