    The station , turntable, and model RR are all part of the wonderful job the local historical society has done to keep the history of the area alive. If you are in the Wakefield NH area, a visit is a must!

    Nice collection and displays!

    Who operates the tracks here these days? They appear to be well maintained.

    Photos in another forum show New Hampshire Northcoast power. Wiki has a short description of this operation.

    I admit to being confused, thinking how could Wakefield, NH have a Union Station when the town was served solely by the B&M? So I looked at a map to find that Union, NH is a separate town located a dozen miles south of Wakefield. Now I get it -- the Wakefield Heritage Commission is restored the Union, NH station which was not a Union Station. Right. o_O

    Where is/was "Wakefield Junction" located, in relation to this depot we see pictured?

    Shame the caboose was repainted in the McGinnis scheme. They were much prettier in the Minute Man scheme that I remember growing up.
