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.
