April Meeting
 (20 April 2019)
Winter was an uninvited guest at our April Meeting. While the tracks at Fernald appeared
clear, it only took a short trackcar ride East, and around the corner to find ice and snow
still covering the railhead. Jon hiked west, and found similar conditions on that side
of the road too. The Wolfeboro Railroad is one of the few places in New Hampshire where
the rails generally run in an East-West orientation, and as such, the snow melt occurs a
little later in the season. Members worked to clean up around the enginehouse, including
some trees falling toward the trail.
