Gorham, NH lies about half way between Portland, ME and Montreal, Canada.  The St Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad arrived in 1851 and opened up the entire area to tourism, which is still the major business in this area.  The St Lawrence and Atlantic became the Grand Trunk Railroad then the Canadian National Railways.  Most recently it is again called The St Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad.  The station was built in 1907 and was saved from demolition in 1973.  It currently is a museum.

 I think this steam locomotive is for display purposes only.  Still looks like it could run though. 

The locomotive is a 1911 Baldwin 0-6-0 steam locomotive, which was saved from the scrap pile in 1986.

At one time this station must have seen travelers arriving to partake in the scenic beauty and recreational activities available in the White Mountain Region of New Hampshire.  Today this building is home to the Gorham Historical Society.  They operate a small railroad museum here with some rolling stock on display.  Unfortunately, everything was closed when I was there.  Even though no passengers arrive by train here, the tracks are still active.
