In this video we take a trip on up into New Hampshire, finding abandoned 1950s era Boston and Maine boxcars in all the odd places, along with a few Maine Central waffle side boxcars that seem destined for reuse or the scrap bin.

It's possible the middle box car by itself on the disconnected track was purchased by whoever owns the building and is an extra warehouse for them. We used to have a about 4 here in Milwaukee but they have all been scrapped. Back when the Milwaukee Road shops were still open here there were 2 or 3 yards that held Freight cars that hardly ever moved as they were in wrecked condition or pretty much obsolete. God knows why they didn't scrap them a lot of money was tied up in that stuff just sitting around. Then came the big cutbacks and retrenching so a whole bunch of outside contractors worked at various places around the system torching the stuff

This is my best guess on why it landed here. B&M was probably offering them cheap to its customers (or former customers). There's a few of these storage boxcars around the northeast. Eventually I'll roll out more videos on them.

PanAm..look at a rail map prior to Guilford...they were almost the end of railroads in part of New England, New Hampshire ? Bike Trails and zero interest in railroads. o--I heard Oan Am-Guilford never lost cent. Any rail line left is/was at 10 mph or less.
