I lost you after you said "it might be in Concord". Are you trying to say Concord St. or Bow St.? if there is such streets in the area.

In fact the strip mall is where the train station once stood and if I’m not mistaken 93 sits where the turn table use to be; in fact I think 93 took over some of the rail yard. All that is left of the Yard is 3 storage tracks, one of what use to be two mainline tracks (remember it use to be doubled tracked from Boston all the way to Concord at one time) and a passing siding track that is use for the engines to run around the cars which is located just north of the strip mall and of course that Tower which is used by NEGS as there office. Not to mention B&M’s old industrial area (where Concord Trailways is) that whole are is a grave yard for abandoned tracks. You could spend days finding tracks in the woods, in the pavement, in the dirt.... everywhere. If you want pictures though you better hurry the land is for sale for commercial redevelopment and I have heard of rumors that it could start with in the next few years. If I’m not mistaken Guilford still owns the land but I'm not sure. Let's hope they can get some rail customers in there again.

I did a quick search and wasn't able to come up with anything but did come across this http://www.manta.com/comsite5/bin/pddnb ... 0&id=tjrp8 At least I know their official address now. GP40MC 1116 either me or you are going to have to asked them if they have a website and if they don't see if they plan on making one. And I want to know what the deal is with Penacook???
