Manchester and Lawrence Railroad

Special summer trains ran to Rockingham Park in Salem for the horse races until 1960 when that service stopped.

Freight continued to run on the southern end of the line from Lawrence to North Salem until December 1992, when the remaining customers in that part of town closed.

The main line and passing track at the racetrack was removed immediately and was relocated south so that Guilford could continue to serve the last remaining customer while waiting for approval to abandon service from the Surface Transportation Board.

All service north of the Lawrence city line ended in June 2001 when Guilford delivered two covered hoppers to leave behind in Salem and picked up empties.

The abandoned roadbed currently serves as a rail trail in Manchester, Londonderry, Derry, Windham, and Salem in New Hampshire, as well as in Methuen, Massachusetts.
