Bellows Falls
These two pictures are looking
in opposite directions from the grade crossing at NH-12 on the Walpole side of
the river
How do they do that? If you look at the aerial pictures of Bellows Falls, you will
notice that the NECR tracks appear to be dis-connected going north into the
station area. Look carefully, you will find a short tunnel there!
