Virginia Mills, Pennsylvania was an 1889 stop on the Western Extension of the Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway near Fairfield, Pennsylvania and the site of the 1863 Battle of Fairfield in the American Civil War.
The community was originally named Hartt's Mills but was renamed in 1869 when the European and North American Railway (Western Extension) was opened between Saint John and Vanceboro, Maine, meeting the Fredericton Branch Railway which ran from this junction into Fredericton.
During the late 1860s, the European and North American Railway project's "Western Extension" was constructed from Saint John to the boundary at St. Croix where it linked with another E&NA line from Bangor to Vanceboro.
The tracks between Saint John and St. Croix were built as part of the European and North American Railway's "Western Extension" which was part of a project that connected Saint John, New Brunswick with Bangor, Maine, opening in 1869.
In addition to excavations for parts of the Tapeworm bed, the Commonwealth built a single-arch stone roadway bridge over Tom's Creek for the Nichol's Gap Road (the 1888-9 Western Extension by the Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway still uses a stone arch bridge over the road at Iron Springs, Pennsylvania.)
A western extension of Line 1 from La Défense station to the center of Nanterre is being considered.
