An economic engine that opened up opportunity to many communities in New Hampshire.
Unique architecture made some stations gems, but they were all important landmarks in their communities.
Getting us to work and taking us to play, street railways defined our early cities and provided local escapes.
Find out what was in your hometown, from the steel connecting cities to the locations of rural depots.
Nashua City Station is a personal project by Matthew Cosgro. It shares the history of railroading in New England in two ways: first, by presenting the historical railroads and their footprints on communities in a format similar with today's transportation networks; and second, by showcasing historical imagery from Matthew Cosgro's personal collection.
This project celebrates the early lifeblood of our communities - the railroads that crisscrossed New Hampshire. Explore old rail lines and trolley routes, see trains as they are today, and follow historic paths of the mighty iron horse. Our railroading past is rich and enduring. Watch your step and enjoy your visit. Don't worry, it'll be a while 'till the next train leaves.
