Lost in the woods of northern New Hampshire is this relic of an era\u2014all but lost to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long-abandoned Maplewood Station served resort traffic on Boston & Maine\u2019s Bethlehem Branch, a short railway built as narrow gauge in the late 19th<\/sup> century and later converted to four foot eight and a half inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the 1920s, New England railroading was already in decline, and this branch was one of the earliest class I abandonments. Yet the old station building survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these digital photos variously using my FujiFilm XT1 with 12mm Zeiss Touit and Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm Nikkor zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
