Comment from woodpeck
Don't ;) in OSM we only map stuff that is still visible. If you have to resort to old maps and old photos then you should contribute this information to OpenHistoricalMap, not to OpenStreetMap.

I wasn't sure exactly how to do this, but my contributions were for Open Railway Map which uses OSM data. That is a great project, however, they also map long such abandoned right of ways. If you check out the project page you can also write the lead, he may be better able to answer. I am a railway worker so wanted to contribute something here. Also a Durham NH native.

Comment from AntiCompositeNumber
Hello, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is a project for recording the world as it currently exists "on the ground", and should not be used to map historic features that have been removed (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_historic_events_and_historic_features ). Because the Portsmouth Electric Railway was discontinued and removed in 1925, there is no longer any physical evidence of the route and it does not belong in OpenStreetMap. Historical features belong in OpenHistoricalMap (https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ ) where they can be handled appropriately.
