Here's the diamond crossing of the Hillsborough Branch (foreground) with the former Nashua, Acton and Boston Branch (right to left). The NA&B used to earlier cross the WN&P and later connected with the WN&P in the background. When all 3 branches were still connected at minimum into the 1990's, Guilford would use all 3 branches as an elaborate wye to turn a car when necessary. Coming out of Nashua Yard, they would head north a short distance on the NH Division mainline, back onto the NA&B at the site of the former Union Station. They would cross this diamond right to left, curve onto a connection with the WN&P straight ahead and then back to the left to connect onto the Hillsborough Branch completing the move to go back into Nashua Yard.
