One hundred years ago, in 1921, the railroad was very big in New Hampshire with many more miles of railroad track than today.
Maybe the State of NH would consider to relocate this unused Winnipesaukee railroad track away from the shoreline, and out through the backwoods in Belmont, Sanbornton, and New Hampton out somewhere behind the west side of Lake Winnisquam.
So, what is the highest and best use for this 9-mile shoreline railroad right-of-way built in 1885? Is it an unused single railroad track or a community walking, running, and bicycling trail paved with fine, small, gray granite small gravel, 12' wide?
Here's a rail trail, work in progress about 35-miles to the south ....
