Just when Pan Am was getting ready to remove the rail on the Northern Line between Horseshoe Pond and Penacook the owner of Scenic RailRiders contacted Pan Am and was able to work out a 5 year lease agreement to operate rail bike tours from Horse Shoe Pond Lane up to Commercial Street in Boscawen, NH. Clearly this had been in the planning stages for while, because they also had to get approval to build a 25-car parking lot off of Sewalls Falls Rd. (which is the base of operations) from the city of Concord. Tours started last Friday, see their website for more details scenicrailriders.com
It takes real skill to choke on air, fall up the stairs and trip over nothing. I have those skills.
