Right now the tracks are up above the snow while the ties are snow covered.

Who knows but maybe there are railroad track adapted wheel/tires for use under the front two skis with two rubber inflated tires on a snowmobile for using it on a railroad track?

And, what about meeting up with a moving train on the railroad track? There are NO trains. Trains in New Hampshire have been totally replaced by trucks that all use those black round thingies ..... called rubber inflated tires made by Goodyear and other tire makers. America moves it on a truck and trains are so last century! .....
FLL the standard gauge for railroad tracks is 4' 8 1/2 ". See the following link.

https://www.saferack.com/railroad-tr...e,(97%20km%2Fh).

Trains do run in NH, even in winter. Not all, but some do.

Enjoy the reading about railroad gauges.
