Railroad avenue was the presumed location of the Seabrook Depot. However, the Webmaster did not look for any evidence of the depot building during his brief visit of April 29, 2001. ADA compliant trail access is obviously feasible directly from the street crossing. But property records must be inspected to determine if the site of the depot building was included in the State's railroad land purchase. Space for parking and other trailhead facilities would in turn probably depend upon State ownership of the depot site.

Brooks Road is the primary access road to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant and its associated buildings. This road runs along the south fence of the property from the intersection of Routes 1 & 107. There is no evidence of ATV usage across this road, thus the Webmaster presumes that a locked power plant security fence currently blocks the route of the proposed rail-trail. Note that Brooks Road turns north to parallel the east side of the abandoned railroad track immediately after the crossing. A parking lot for an office building associated with the power plant is near the crossing.

A Science and Nature Center is present on the Nuclear Power Station Grounds, although the Webmaster did not note its precise location. That building may provide toilets & water to trail users, and also serve as an attraction for tourist trail users.
