Durham, NH Historic Train Station Rededicated at UNH

The historic Durham train station was rededicated yesterday 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's new intermodal facility 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 all his hard work on behalf of the Downeaster.
 
For those who weren't there, a video is available but there's no way to share electronically the delicious coffee cake we enjoyed. You'll just have to make your own train trip to the Dairy Bar.
