Notice 1: Railroad Stations in New Hampshire will be off track (i.e., on vacation) from 1 July until late August.  Please continue to send along ay information, pictures, and queries, and we will be back in business by summer's end.  As always, thanks to everyone who contributes and everyone who enjoys the contributions of others.

    Notice 2:  The University of New Hampshire Campus Planning Office is renovating the B&M station/Dairy Bar and compiling a history of it.                                           Please send along any information you may have about the depot and its history to the Planning Office.

A rare but necessary advertisement on this site:  John H. Roy Jr.'s comprehensive and painstakingly researched book A Field Guide to  Southern New England Railroad Depots and Freight Houses has been published by Branch Line Press of Pepperell MA.  Please click here for more information and to order a copy.  This book joins Karr's and Lindsell's books as indispensible works on rail lines in southern and  northern New England.

 Navigating the Stations:

A few notes if you're planning on visiting these stations:

• In this post-9/11 world, be careful not to behave so as to raise suspicions, especially around railroad installations (yards, bridges, structures).  Carry   identitification and if asked, be forthright about who you are and what your intentions are.
• Stations listed as Private are usually someone's home. Some people don't care that you like trains and don't want anyone around taking pictures. Ask first!
• Stations listed as Business are just that, and photos can be easily had.
• Stations listed as Municipal are local/state run offices such as police, fire, library, highway, and village offices. Hours are usually 9-5 if you want to look around.
• Stations listed as Society are owned by a society, and may also contain a museum.
• Track is In Use means that there is an active railroad using the tracks. Be careful around the tracks and always ask for permission when on railroad property.
• Station Type = Combination, Freight, and Passenger.
• "Moved" means that the address given is the current, not the original location of the station. Consult "Notes" column.

If I don't have a piece of information, such as a built date or street, you'll see a ???. Please e-mail me a message if you are able to contribute information to this page. Be sure to include what station you are referring to (railroad and city).

Photos: If you see a camera next to a town or city name, that means there is a photo of that station located in the archive. Click on the camera to see the photo. As I often receive duplicate photos or different views of the same station, I will occasionally rotate different people's photos on the county pages. If you send me a photo scan, please inscribe in small letters at top or bottom a copyright symbol, the year of the photo, and your full name; see the photo above as a example. I occasionally will list multiple camera symbols; on the Counties pages, this usually signifies a current photo plus a black-and-white image from days gone by (for purposes of comparison), while on the Other Stations Page, these signify multiple "historical" black-and-white photos. I believe that all photos included at this site that are not attributed to the individuals who submitted them are in the public domain and that their use does not violate any copyright laws; please write to me if you know this not to be the case for any photo here.
