OK. Thanks for a more detailed reply.
Often if somebody is in an area and familiar with things they might think everything is obvious etc. but ----
I recall being in Tilton NH years ago taking pictures. That was the 'slide' era and guess what happened to most all pictures ? After a few decades the slides seem to dissolve into looking TERRIBLE if anything at all. No warning. Scan and poor but acceptable and in very short order TERRIBLE. I guess they reach some degree of dissolving and then do the rest FAST. Then carry bags of such around for decades ? When parents died things in their house got zapped by relations.(sisters)
Never connected ? It was 50 years ago etc.
I might be going senile (not quite) but stomp around NH 50+ years ago taking pictures and forget things ? Used to visit and stay at Grandmothers place by Lake Willoughby Vermont. Would hear the freights come through in the nights.
NH had endless lines in 'grown over status' and save for the future !!! O-a bike trail. Ever hear of a bike trail going back to a railroad ?
Maybe CTX will pick up some business on line north to Manchester. If I were a shipper would I ship via a network of Bankrupt railroads and 15 mph max ? I even recall BM in Clinton Massachusetts area it seems almost daily was a derailment !!!! (went to College in area)
No connection from the sand-pits to the north. Seems like somebody would have kept it open but---
