Salem Depot

When the B&M Railroad was Still Running Passenger Rail Service

Most of us from Windham spend a lot of time in Salem, and over the past several months, Salem Depot has undergone many changes as part of the Tuscan Village “improvements.” This old Swallow postcard shows the area when passenger rail was still in service on the B&M line. The roof of station, which has recently been restored, can be seen behind the rai cars. The Rockingham Hotel is shown on the right of the photo. I used to get my hair-cut as a child, in one of the store fronts there. You can also see many passengers departing the recently arrived train.
