Thanks TG, good to know.

I know that the rails are still maintained from Lakeport up to Plymouth as the Hobo RR does run up to Common Man during the fall. I see the yellow rail maintenance pickup about once a week pass by.

They actually lease and maintain the line down to Lochmere (Silver Lake Rd). South of that, and down into Concord, is leased to the New England Southern Railroad.

Is that for the rail bikes?
I don't think the train itself has travelled any further than Lakeport for awhile now.

The railbikes are part of the services offered by the railroad but trains still operate between Lochmere and Lakeport and just this week they sent three privately owned passenger cars down that had been stored up in Lincoln, NH for the past 20+ years. I saw them heading down towards Manchester and we're on the end of a long freight train.
