I'm not aware of passengers being able to get on or off at Lakeport, I think its just the location where the train reverses direction. I could be wrong though, I just haven't paid to close attention to it.
I know downtown is kind of largely over looked by a lot of people but as I keep telling people, every revitalization project has a first step. Having Laconia become and active train station again, I think would do wonders for downtown, I just don't know how it would work out with the railroads current operations. The draw bridge at Lakeport is control by the railroad but they have to stop and manually flip a switch to close it, which adds lag time. I suppose a closed circuit system could be installed, similar to what activates the lights and bells at a railroad crossing, but in this case to close and open a draw bridge.
