I would think that the railroad rights of way are part of one or more deeds associated with Southdown (et al) property. A bit of detective work looking at tax maps / lot numbers, then searching the Belknap County Registry of Deeds should produce the appropriate documents which show any railroad rights of way. This doesn’t prove or disprove that the trail was a condition of the approval of the subdivisions, but would document the existing rights of way. Would be interesting to see the actual right of way language though.
A search produced this information - paragraph 1 seems relevant to the situation, but I’m no lawyer:
