Leaving Woodsville depot, the lines to Berlin and Plymouth ran together to the enginehouse area, then split. From around 1900 through WWII a fairly steep wye track behind the enginehouse let trains run directly between Plymouth and Berlin, but IIRC from the long-ago Bulletin article, this was removed before the line from Plymouth was abandoned. Past the enginehouse, the Plymouth line descended steeply to a flat area. Here, on the east side, the 'New Yard' was built sometime after 1900. I haven't explored the area, but I've read it was abandoned in place piecemeal after through service ended.
Yes the river was straighten out near the 93/25 interchange. The railroad bridge was located right where 25 is today. The best way to see it, is go to historicaerials.comThanks for the information! I had been trying to locate any traces of this long lost bridge, but figured it was probably completely demolished when the Interstate was built. Amazing how in this short section of the former line, there's literally no evidence of it at all. Do you know why they wanted to straighten out the river? Was it too difficult to construct the highway around the old route of the river?
