Railroad Stations in New
Hampshire, now in its twentieth year, is a site devoted to the history, location, and uses of railroad
depots, whether still standing or long gone, throughout the ten counties of New
Hampshire. Readers are invited to consult the tables and links below and to
submit
additions, corrections, and photos to make this a more detailed, more precise, and
more complete site.
Notice: The site now
includes a gallery of scans of New Hampshire Railroad
depot paintings (and a few others of railroad interest) done by New Hampshire artist Arch McDonnell, mostly in the 1970's and
1980's.
Notice: Beautiful
railroad station (home) now available for purchase in Hinsdale, NH:
Have a look! (Thanks for the tip, Tom!)

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
identification and if asked, be forthright about who you are and what
your intentions are.
Getting kicked off the property is better than getting arrested for
trespassing.A stations listed as Private is 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
: A camera
next to a town or city name indicates a photo of that station located in the
archive; a blue camera
indicates an
historical map image of the station. Click on either camera to see the
image. 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. For the record, I allow no advertising and make no money from
the site; in fact, it costs me money to maintain it.
