I was wondering if anyone on the list has any photos of the B&M
working the industrial trackage off of the Portsmouth Branch, and also
on the Valley Street line being worked in the 1970's.

I have plenty of research photos for my new layout of the area now,
but I have not seen any photos from when the trackage was actually worked.

Ian the only one coming to mind is a switcher working Agway in Manchvegas, in Maywald's Memories of the Boston and Maine book.

Thanks Tox, I'll have to pick that one up. And ask Bruce.

If you can't find it you can borrow my copy. Definitely ask Bruce, he will have all kinds of stuff, I am sure. He can also put you in touch with his buddy Brent who, I believe, has a decent collection of stuff from around manchester.

I was afoot back in those days. I do remember B&M SW1 coming and going from the Yard in Manchester with a couple of cars. I have one poor slide showing an SW1 coming down the grade entering the yard.

That would be a cool shot.

I found another on Ebay of a SW coming on to the M&L from the Portsmouth Branch. I didn't win the auction though.

Still looking for photos if people have em though.

Email Bruce and George. Both have pictures of the area.
