Seashore Trolley Museum
 (14 September 2019)
Jon and Chris enjoyed a cool Fall morning, continuing to push back the bushes
along the STM mainline. They were joined on the return trip by Charlie, head of
the track department, who pointed out a couple of more spots need attention. At
this point, there is no longer anything hitting the trolleys, so we're focusing
on clearing around culverts, and poles bases to make inspections easier. Everyone
is happy with the work we've been doing, and the professionalism we bring.
Next trip over is scheduled for their "Members Day" on October 12.

New England Southern
 (7 September 2019)
Today's crew was Frank, Tommy, Hayden, Collin and Jon. The crew took
advantage of the nice cool weather to finish their cutting in the
Northfield swamp. Due to the wetlands, this is a spot where the State of
NH cannot spray.
After lunch at Tilton House of Pizza, they went all the way south to
White Mountain Junction (Concord), before returning to Canterbury. Great day,
and a big thanks to the crew at WMUR for an accurate forecast!

"Mowing Monday" at Cotton Valley
 (26 August 2019)
Another Mowing Monday on the Wolfeboro branch. This time we traveled from
Fernald Station to the western end of track at Route 28 in downtown Wolfeboro.
Hayden L. cleared enough saplings the previous Wednesday to allow us to take
the mower west! The rails are now clearly seen as you pass the trailhead along
Rt 28 in town. So get out there and enjoy the West End!

New England Southern
 (25 August 2019)
We got to run from Canterbury up to the Tilton Freighthouse.
Big thanks to Frank, Tommy, Chris, Hayden and two Jons... The crew took
advantage of the nice cool weather to do some serious cutting in the
Northfield swamp. We have a little bit more to do on the north end to
finish up the job. Due to the wetlands, this is a spot where the State of
NH cannot spray.
