old train stations

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but I read "Life by the Tracks," by Virginia Downs a couple years ago, and it was really good.

It's about the Crawford Notch railroad trestle way up there and the family that lived there for most of its existence.

It's available through the NH library system, but there's some info and reviews here: Life by the Tracks (New Hampshire - Crawford Notch)): When Passenger Trains Steamed Through the Notch https://a.co/d/120t8eP

I will be sure to borrow the book

The Library of Congress has a huge digital archive as does the Boston Public Library and MIT.

Here's one of the Cog Railway in 1909.

It's a little more than I would spend for a book so I will stop by the Meredith library tomorrow and see if they can get it for me, the reviews look good.

I've collected many pics of the old RR stations on the Lakeshore, Wolfeboro and the Cocheco (Rochester to Alton) lines. Check out threads on each in the history section Soaring Eagle. Here is a rare and pristine postcard, printed in Germany 1916, of the Loon Cove Station now located at RR park in Alton.
