A small dilapidated building alongside Interstate 93 that played a pivotal role in Concord’s long railroad history, one of the few structures of its kind still standing in the state, is slated to be torn down after a decade of neglect.
Contractors working for CSX were working in the building last week, removing trash and checking for hazardous materials such as asbestos. Heavy machinery is already on site to begin demotion.

I do feel like if any other operator were to come along, VRS would make the most sense. This is all purely hypothetical of course, since the implications of the Bow plant switch seems small as you've said.

There would be scrap/demo debris going out for at least a year if not longer, plus probably some dirty dirt. I imagine the town will pursue development opportunities by converting it to an industrial park which may open up some more steady customers.newpylong wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 9:09 am FYI the state of NH owns north of Concord, not NEGS/VRS.I always get tripped up on NH ownership of operated railroad lines.
