Yes, ladies and gentlemen, once upon a time, many, many years ago, there was a railroad line that traveled along the Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline in Meredith, and the Weirs Beach and Lakeport areas in Laconia.
First built away back in 1883 or so, for many, many years it was a very important transportation link.
However, with the building of Rt-93 in 1965, and the big switch from steel wheel trains to rubber tired cars and trucks, the Winnipesaukee Railroad tracks have greatly declined with little to no use, no trains, no freight, and no passengers.
What it really is, is an unused railroad track, something more like a railroad track that belongs in a museum.
The Winnipesaukee Railroad ….. it was great when it was alive ….. but it is now totally dead …. may it rest in pieces! …
If you were to go down to the track today on November 26, 2019, you would have to wait about six months before a train actually came down this here railroad track ….. a-yuh! …
Next train coming along in May, 2020 on this here
www.hoborr.com/winni.html will be the Mother's Day opening day rail ride train, or something, which is not even a real train ….. it is a local tourist train.
So, Gov Chris Sununu, please help move the lakes region forward by tearing out these old steel rails and wood railroad ties, and help build the
www.wowtrail.org in its' place.
