The New Durham Railway Station is right on Rt. 11 heading south from the Alton Traffic Circle after the Merrymeeting Marsh on the right. As you travel down Rt. 11 you can see here and there where the old rail bed used to be as well as some old stone bridges. I'm not sure that the present building actually was the old railroad station. If so, it has been added on to and added on to. As you head up the west side of the lake on Rt. 11 you can also pick out vestiges of the old Lakeshore Rail line. For instance there is a nice old stone bridge just south of Ames Farm. Here is one of the old stations that BH refers to and it is for sale!
