Pictures 1-26 were taken on November 19, 2023, by Highball Artist.
This crossing is located on the Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad
Winnipesaukee Subdivision.
Page created by Highball Artist (with MikeRXRTools 1.0.2).
These signals were installed in 2000 along with the lower Messer St
crossing, replacing a 1953 B&M GRS
install. The northern signal is a newer replacement, likely the result
of a vehicle strike.
Bisson Ave intersects adjacent to the crossing, and with three sets of
lights (including two separate masts) protecting this side street, any
driver's claims they couldn't tell a train was coming would not be
bought by local authorities. Note the white strobe light atop the
southern mast, which flashes when the signals are active.
This crossing is operated by the P&L (DBA Granite State Scenic
Railway, formerly Hobo & Winnipesaukee
Scenic Railroads), but It should be noted excursions from Meredith only
operate into downtown Laconia on Sundays in the summer months, and for
other special occasions and equipment moves.
