In Part 2 of our interview with Bruce Davison, we continue to follow his shortline railroading career with the Wolfeboro Railroad’s Central Division, operating 1976 and 1977 on the state of New Hampshire-owned White Mountain Branch between Concord and Lincoln. Bruce also discusses his time with the New England Southern Railroad (July 1985 to December 8, 1994) operating on the White Mountain Branch as well as leased portions of the B&M-owned NH Division Mainline between Concord and Manchester, and the B&M-owned Northern Mainline to Penacook and Andover.
