On the west side, as mcdude says, going south next to JP China. The tracks then crossed the river over Letter S Road, old bridge abutments are still there. Then across Main St and behind Town Hall and next to the police station where the B&M Railroad Park is now. Then south parallel to Rt 11, much of the old bed is now snowmobile trail.
As far as I know there were no B&M RR tracks on the Downing's Landing side.
In 1871 - 1872 the original Mt Washington was constructed in Alton Bay and launched from there. I don't know where in the Bay it was launched from.
