Perfect timing
As I was leaving work today I heard Pan Am local freight DO-1 getting paper to leave Portsmouth to head back west to the mainline. The 10 mile run at 10 mph from Portsmouth to Rockingham Junction gives me just enough time make the trek from work down to the Great Bay area and get into position for a shot. The Great Bay is a large tidal estuary that flows into the Piscataqua River mostly known by environmentalists for its' abundant plant and wildlife. Although rarely photographed, the former B&M Portsmouth Branch crosses the Squamscott River at the southwesterly end of the Great Bay on a causeway and a pair of timber pile trestles.
