Flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 uncovered railroad ties along the Pemi East Side Trail in the Pemigewasset Wilderness of Lincoln, New Hampshire. A spur line that came off the main line of the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (1893-1948) traveled up a portion of the now Pemi East Trail. This spur line began about a 1/2 mile above Trestle 7, crossed the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River and ended in the area of Cedar Brook. These railroad ties look to be cut trees that have been squared with an adze, which is a hand tool used to cut each tie to length and shape.
