Somebody was asking about ghost lines around Berlin, specifically whether B&M ran north-eastward towards Success Pond. There was a common-carrier logging road on that route called "Success RR" owned by Blanchard & Twitchell Lumber Co between 1900 and 1905, but that was just a logging road. It claimed 22m but that might include spurs. I think it connected with both main line companies at Berlin.
There was also a short line at Glen to the south, called the "Glen Junction Transfer", 1914-32, to do with the paper mill there I think.
