Hey Rob,
My memory is telling me that there aren't very few customers left on the Hillsboro. I'm sure someone will correct me, but I know the active ones are...
* LAW Warehouse -Airport Rd., Nashua
* Harcros Chemical - 8 Capitol St., Nashua
* Unknown - 1 Cellu Dr., Nashua (formerly Twin Mtn bottling plant)
* Hendrix Wire and Cable - Old Wilton Rd., Milford
The other possible customers, which I haven't see get rail service in years...
* Suburban Propane, Old Wilton Rd., Milford
* Energy North, Caldwell Dr., Amherst
Hitchner's Manufacturing hasn't had rail service in a decade (at least). You won't find a trace of their sidings at their Old Wilton Road facility as they pulled everything up.
The Milford-Bennington Railroad (MBRX) has trackage rights on Pan Am starting at Westchester Drive in Milford to Howard Street in Wilton. State of New Hampshire ownership begins on the (railroad) north side of Howard Street, which MBRX currently holds the contract for operations. MBRX serves Granite State Concrete's facilities, the quarry in Wilton and their processing plant in Milford. Interchanges... if any... are performed at Wilton.
Last I knew, Pan Am retained trackage rights from Howard Street in Wilton up to the Pike quarry, which is just north of Granite State's quarry. The line north of the quarries to Bennington is out of service.
