Famous Seacoast NH Train Wrecks

The B&M Railway station in Portsmouth was once the end of the line for passengers
coming from Boston. Today the site is a pizza parlor, but the tracks remain and
there is talk of a revival of passenger trains here. See the next two photos for
crashes at this location. (From an old postcard courtesy Portsmouth Public Library)

A crash at the Portsmouth station made headlines in May 1909 when one B&M
passenger rear-ended another at noon. Seven people were injured and fireman on
the yard engine was killed. (Courtesy Portsmouth Public Library)

This crash knocked the engine directly onto its side in Portsmouth Station on
August 12, 1894. (Portsmouth Library)
