Durham, NH Train Station Rededicated

The historic Durham Train Station was rededicated today after a year-long refurbishing effort which preserved the existing structure and expanded the food area. The rejuvenated Dairy Bar, redesigned and much improved, now offers a wholesome upgraded menu as well as that old standby - ice cream.

Chairman Wayne Davis of TrainRiders/Northeast joined Patricia Quinn of NNEPRA and the president of UNH at ceremonies marking the occasion.

The Maine contingent arrived at the university intermodal station on train #682. The UNH Pep Band added their enthusiasm to the celebratory mood.

Congratulations to Steve Pesci, UNH Special Projects Manager and TR/NE board member, for his hard work in helping to bring the Downeaster to the Durham campus.

For those who weren't there, the embedded video summarizes the event, but there's no way to share electronically the delicious coffee cake we enjoyed. You'll just have to make your own trip to the Dairy Bar.
