What time does the train leave Tilton/Northfield on the 19th? I'd like to get some pictures of it at Laconia Station. Also, does it return from Plymouth on the same day?

We probaly gonna leave around 8:30am heading for Plymouth, I don;t know how long in Plymouth but we are spending the nite at the X-mas tree plantation in Ashland. about 3 to 4 miles south of Plymouth.

Going south out of Tilton, destination Concord. probaly leave around 10;00, 10;30. I've been told this week that this might be our last trip to Concord. :( Why ? I don't know. but I'm sure I'll find out this weekend.

Tilton to Concord. that's a pretty short trip. Do you guys return to Tilton that same day?

It has to do with GRS problems...I can't disclose the details at this point, but it may not be your last trip to Concord...just to Concord Yard. You'll still be able to go to MP C1.

This is quite rare mileage. I did it with MBRRE in September but even so I wouldn't mind hitching a ride if any of the caboose owners wanted to offer it one way from Tilton to Concord! I'm happy to pay a few bucks actually.

When we went on New Years we only went to MP C1, just across from the Marriott. As this was always where Peter parked the train. Last time we went down park behind Burlington Coat was in 2005. :(

No we will be there for the nite, across from Marriot.probaly head North around 12;30 - 1;00 on sunday after the triple runaround move NEGS has to make with our long train. No siding long enough in Concord to go around the whole train :wink:

Well I haven’t been up there to talk to Peter in a while but it doesn't surprise me that Pan Am is keeping them from bringing the train into the yard. Which leads me to my question: Has a caboose ever gone up to Penacook? If so will one ever head up that way again? Peter and company have put a lot of work into the track up that way (under Pan Am scrutiny) and I would like to see their hard work pay off for something giving the fact there are no customers up there.

I'll be working for Peter on the caboose train. It'll be an early morning as we depart Concord at 0630. I'll see you there!
