I was very pleased to find that the line is still intact from Route
93 to Route 128 in Windham. Except for one short section through a couple
of back yards it's passable the whole way. Bill Gardei did a very nice
job of documenting this section of the line. I recommend checking out his
page. Follow the link below.

The Sandown Historical Society lent me a scrapbook with pictures of the beginning of their restoration work on their station. The station has come a long way.
Rochester N.H. is a very interesting town to study, it once had railroads coming in from six different directions. Today there is still stuff left to see. The New Hampshire Northcoast RR has it's mainline going through town. There are traces of the railroads of the past. This Rochester page has pictures and maps of the town.
Here is a very interesting article from the Boston Globe, dated Tuesday October 10,1911, it shows a head-on "cornfield meet" in Hampstead New Hampshire. It's a large file but worth taking a look at. ( low res. version )
