Claremont & Concord Railroad

John F. Bjorklund Photo • Doug Harrop Collection • Oct. 8, 1976

 

As short line railroads go, it's hard to beat the New England charm of the Claremont & Concord Railroad. Chartered in 1848, construction began in the New Hampshire capital of Concord. After numerous bankruptcies and acquisitions, the 55-mile route connected with the Boston & Maine in Claremont, New Hampshire.

 

Mr. Bjorklund captured this stunning view of GE 44-toner No. 18 rumbling along city streets on a rainy day in Claremont.
