My question is, why would someone go and buy a tiny little bankrupt shortline in the middle of New Hampshire? I can see a larger road that could make back the investment and become a profitable enterprise, but a bankrupt TEN MILE SHORTLINE? It would take YEARS to get your investment back, if you even succeded. The DDWH was formed when the old mainline washed out. That was the final straw for the B&M's Northern Division, which is now the WRS mainline. Service on the line would be really bad prior to the washout, as the line was nearing abandonment as it is. After the state funded a new line around the washout (present day WRS) they contracted the DDWH to operate the remainder of the washed out line. Industries would be untrustful of rail service.The DDWH shouldn't be around at all... I'm stretching it as it is...
