I use to walk to the Laconia station to watch the locomotives. As you can see they have the ability to switch locomotives without a turntable. An amazing display! Watch carefully the Lakeport footage and you will see the old Lakeshore Railroad switch is there. At the time Texwood and Grossman Lumber would use the old track.
I think the last passenger train was in 1973. Freight trains were common in the later years.
