This is what the Contoocook Station looked like as you arrived in a Pullman coach.
The original semaphore still stands proudly above the station.
This Pullman coach actually served on this station's lines. I was brought into the park two years ago.

Wonderful series of photos! The Pullman coach, the covered bridge and the depot are my favorites.
Thanks for sharing your scenic Sunday.
I used to love riding on trains esecially when they were still steam ones. We have a couple here still in service doing special tourist runs.
Glad you enjoyed it, eileeninmd.
Hi Joan, I don't know what it is about steam that makes it more fun. I've done a little bit of both on tourist runs.
Fascinating Steve. Dane really knows his stuff and I'm surprised by how much documentation there is of the bridge and railway. This is the stuff that goes far to unappreciated by much of our generation, and younger.
Wonderful that Richard L came out for the train dedication. Surely he's seen plenty of changes in his day.
Is that graffiti I see on the side of the bridge?
Very cool. I love old railroad stuff.
