Interesting. So the tracks were only on the west side (obviously where the train station still is) and none being on the east side? Do you know how they came in Mcdude? Meaning from the train station that exists now, going south, where did they go? Right through where JP China is now? So you are saying the trains existed in Alton Bay before they did in Wolfeboro?
