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.
Union is a small village but still part of Wakefield. It is confusing. There are lots of these "village in a town" situations in New England. Separate zip code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union,_New_Hampshire
This history and map might help. https://www.google.com/maps/place/W...e0332fad362904!8m2!3d43.5536938!4d-71.0288751 https://www.wakefieldnh.com/about-our-town Scroll up and down on the map and you'll see Union Village and Wakefield. They are quite close. The depot is in Union and the turntable is in Wakefield. 10 minute drive.
Shame the caboose was repainted in the McGinnis scheme. They were much prettier in the Minute Man scheme that I remember growing up.
