For those of you who like to take extended railfanning trips, I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of trackside lodging (motels, hotels, B&Bs, campgrounds, etc.) in New England. I was inspired by the Trackside Motels web site, which is a great concept but unfortunately is a bit outdated and incomplete, especially for the New England states.
To keep this list as useful as possible, let's only include establishments that are within visual distance of the railroad (i.e. you can see the tracks from your room / camp site / etc.).
