<p>The Boston & Maine Northern Division (WRJ to Boston via Concord, Manchester, and Nashua) was abandoned in the mid 1980s, '85 if I recall correctly. The Claremont Concord Railroad runs out to Lebanon on the stub of the former tracks, then the Northern Rail Trail takes over until Concord, where New England Southern and Pan Am run. If you want more info or some photos of the rail trail, PM me - I researched the whole line and biked the Lebanon - Enfield stretch while researching for a model of the line.<br></p><p>WRJ is pretty quiet on the weekends - NECR's two road freights, 600 and 601, run sometime at night / late evening, but Amtrak's Southbound <i>Vermonter</i> and GMRC's <i>White River Flyer</i> both are in town at the same time, making sort of a hotspot of railroad action.</p><p>Weekdays are different. Claremont Concord runs three times a week over the Connecticut River with their beautiful green and yellow Alco S4 to the NECR yard to interchange cars. Pan Am, and the Vermont Railways family fit their trains in too.</p><p>I visited once on a weekend (here's a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjxCZU13GSw]video[/url]) so I don't know much about weekday operations. </p><p>Here's a map of the area today.</p><p>[img]http://sites.google.com/a/trahans.net/moar/Home/issue30/WRJareaMAP.gif[/img] <br></p>
