The state of New Hampshire requires a nearby incorporated town to exercise the responsibilities that would fall to the Town of Success if it should be incorporated. Some towns in the state bearing such responsibility have sought to be relieved of it.^{[citation needed]}

Blanchard and Twitchell Railroad [edit]

A railroad was built by Blanchard and Twitchell Company in 1892 from the Boston and Maine Railroad in Berlin, New Hampshire, through the aboriginal forests to Success Pond in the northeast corner of the township. Six locomotives transported lumber and logs to Berlin sawmills over the 26-mile (42 km) railway.^[2] Most of the Success township forests were gone within a decade, but the railway operated after 1904 as the George W. Blanchard and Sons Company Railroad. Boston and Maine kept 1,600 feet (490 m) of interchange track in service when the remainder of the railroad was dismantled in 1907.^[3]
