    Greetings everyone. For your reading pleasure, I just uploaded a blog entry on my photography and research on the Franklin and Tilton NH branch of the B&M. You can find it here

    As always, I'm open to discussion and any experiences you may have had with this line. This may end up as a track plan in N or HO as the branch has all the elements to a fun model railroad. Hope you enjoy it.

    Is that structure a former freight house? Doesn't quite look like a depot. I presume this line is long ago abandoned?

    Hmmm. I wonder if I've any paper from that particular subdivision....

    Originally a combination passenger / freight depot, unless further research proves otherwise. Yes, the newest abandonment took place in 1975. The blog entry has more details to this interesting branch. Paper? While a big part of the B&M, I'm not sure if this branch had that but research is on going. I'm seriously considering to make a track plan of this branch and will need to dig in more for industry.
