Note about the old railbed
From some of the comments I have read here, I think there is some great misunderstanding about the old railroad beds and "rights of way"
There is a small section of railbed in Alton Bay that has been in my family since shortly after the rail system shut down. This property abuts the main property but is deeded and tax assessed seperatly from the main piece of land.as the land owner ( as my grandfather as well paid taxes on this property)this is not a "right of way" nor is it public property as some of the town folks think it is!!! Including our fearless (and careless road agent) as one winter decided he was going To dump every square inch of snow from the bay parking onto our property... A little research goes a long way, this being said a lot of that overgrown, sometimes forgotten about railbed is PRIVATE PROPERTY!
