Well, I got into this more than I originally planned, LOL... Because of the overwhelming size of this thread, I have decided to move everything into its very own website... Here is the link: http://www.rememberthebmrr.info/ :)

I've been to Sandown before my digital days It's a nice little place.
Luckily, there are quite a few old stations in the area.

True 'dat :D

Now all we need is for some train enthusiast with a whole bunch of money to come along and restore them to their former glory :cool:

I am glad that you like them... Those pictures I got of the stretch of line from Derry to Manchester were a real PITA to take, the amount of mosquitoes there is unbelieveable :eek:

I drove down to Salem today to see how they are coming along on restoring the station, and I saw I sign up on the station which gave a website... It is pretty barren, as most sites like this are, but there is some information there... I was amazed at the "Salem Depot RR" postcard picture, that intersection has changed SO much over time, it is so congested now...

Holy smokes, I took almost 200 pictures yesterday, but I am only going to use forty of them, LOL... Anyways, does this look like right of way fencing to you? There was only a short stretch of it left... I also noticed another short section of the same type of fence way up the line, but it was all bent up...

The fence is in the way. I'd watch out for the poison ivy.:eek:

It does not look like poison ivy to me... Plus anyways, I am immune to it :dunno: :p

Even though I may never continue this site, I figured I would post up these pictures I took a while ago of the Cohas Brook Trestle in Manchester, NH...
