Are there any updates on whether track will be run past Patterson Lane?

Also, I went to Bloody Point today and checked out the old Newington Rail Depot. Very nice and interesting. Glad it is on the National Historic Register.

Here's a shot of the last Portsmouth station from a collection I bought last year. Dates from 1957. Looking north to Maplewood Ave.

They're around. BTW, that's looking RR east, if you want to be technical, the camera is actually aimed SE

Interesting advertising on the wall. The middle of the three is for Smokey and the forestry service. The right shows NATO (relating to the two military bases in town?)

Also notice over the door: Bus Terminal, Restaurant, News Stand. Now if they could only fix that swing bridge in Newburyport, install a few miles of rail, get some coin from the fine folks in Concord..........it'd be like the good old days

We can dare to dream I guess! I got some drone video of DO-1 yesterday I hope to upload to YT later. It picked up a reefer from Highliner around lunch time and then did some work at Boise before heading back up the branch with 1 reefer, 3 CB and 3 box I believe.

Nice video, and great stills of the train at work. Drove over the big bridge this evening and noticed three boxes spotted at Boise. Also drove by the yard in Dover, which had a rather large gathering of tank cars

Thanks! There are some tank cars at Rockingham too, they have been there for a few days. Also looks like a tamper or regulator there too. I think they are sat on the woods track but could be on the siding. Not sure what they are there for.

There was a track car last week at Schiller too.
