Re: Tag-o-rama Gone Global
OK, question for Bill in GA. Does the train station have to be active? We have one here in Merrimack that was built as a train station in 1900 or so, but hasn't been used as a train station since roughly the 1960's when the passenger railroads basically died. It's a machine shop right now. But, one look at it and you know it's a circa 1900 small town train station, and it's right next to the tracks, and I verified its history with the current owner. I already have the photo and a new tag, so I await your decision.
BTW there is essentially no active passenger rail service in NH. The Downeaster makes a couple of stops about 50 miles from here on its way from Mass to Maine, and that's about it. I don't think there are stations per se. They keep trying to revive commuter rail service along the Merrimack River corridor, but it would have to be heavily subsidized, as is the Downeaster, and the idea just doesn't seem to be able to get any traction in this state. According to the owner of the building I photographed today, they have even approached him with the idea of reviving his building as an active station!
