Hello all,
A newbie here, from Maine --- I chanced to come across this site this morning while looking for info. regarding the Maine Central's old line to Cookshire and Lime Ridge.
I've been a member of the Railroad.Net forums for quite a few years. The Upper Coos RR / Hereford Rwy. ("Raspberry") branch of the MEC has been an occasional topic of e-conversation. I have a question regarding the MEC trestle across the Eaton River near Cookshire. I saw a photo of it several years ago; it was an impressive structure. Can one drive or walk to where it was located (which, I gather, was a short distance north of the village)? Are the abutments still standing? When was the bridge removed? I assume it was some time in the '60s or '70s.
