| Post subject: | B&M Lisbon, NH Depot Saved |
The former B&M depot in Lisbon, NH will preserved at its original site by a local group. A group of local historians helped develop a preservation alternative to plans to move the depot out of state. For images, look at the Lisbon entry at: http://www.lightlink.com/sglap3/newhamp ... tonco.html The B&M right-of-way south of the depot was abandoned and taken away (literally in spots) during the past 10 years. Much political hulabaloo surrounded the abandonment of the recently-viable route, and quite honestly, the debacle is what made me rethink my position on rails-to-trails. Unlike New Hampshire's otherwise progressive rail banking program, this former B&M mainline was allowed to be destroyed quickly, and for rather spurious reasons. So, it is quite wonderful to see a bonafide preservation effort come along the troubled route. Good luck, Lisbon team! rdavis@rypn.org |
