Plymouth, NH B&MRRHS North Country Meeting October 21, 2017

For the fifth year in a row we held our meeting at the Plymouth, NH former B&M Railroad Station, now the home of the Plymouth Regional Senior Center.  The program was “The Claremont and Concord Railway” by Bruce Davison.  Bruce worked for the railroad in the 1970’s.  He took us on a wonderful journey through pictures of his time on the railroad in addition to other photos he collected over the years.  We saw many unique trains, switching operations and even a rare automobile outfitted to run on the rails.  Many questions were asked and Bruce was more than willing to answer.  Over 75 people attended and enjoyed the show.  Bruce even baked cookies for everyone attending the meeting! Obviously they tasted good because there were none left.

Another highlight of the day was the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railway foliage extra which stopped by the station.  We were welcomed to climb aboard and view the equipment.  Thanks to the crew, most of them B&MRRHS members, for being so gracious.

Special thanks goes to the Plymouth Regional Senior Center for allowing us to hold our meetings in the beautiful station, and to director Gail Emmons-Shaw.

Also thanks go out to the “crew” of member helpers, Jerry Kelley, Paul Kosciolek, Rick Hurst, Hank Binney, Nelson Kennedy, Bill Hodges, and Karen Nigzus.
