As New Hampshire's only seaport, Portsmouth became a hotspot not only for nautical activity but railroad action as well - a place where the sails met the rails. In this presentation, we will see historic scenes from around Portsmouth's railroad landscape and on the various railroad lines which entered and exited the city.
