DESCRIPTION:
The Boston & Maine Railroad serviced most of New England as a primary mode of transportation during the 19th and 20th centuries. This heritage is captured in Boston & Maine Trains and Services, the fourth volume in Arcadia’s Images of Rail series to focus on the history of this railroad. The trains and services included in this book are the Pullman passenger cars, work trains with flatcars, boxcars, circus trains, plows, stock, cabooses, as well as the Boston & Maine bus service, trucks, and air service.. The birth of this railroad spurred the growth and development of industry in New England
Boston & Maine Trains and Services by Bruce D. Heald This is basically a simple book with mostly pictures and hardly any text on the Boston & Maine Railroad in the 19th century. It is the first in a three part series printed by Arcadia Publishing on the B & M by Bruce Heald, a respected railroad historian. I found this to be the most interesting of the three books on the B & M by this publisher since so little is known about its formation and early years.. John Comita said Three Stars. Interesting but I think some of the captions for photos in the book were incorrect.. Deb D said Great addition to our collection. It went very well with the collection I've been purchasing over the years for hubby. He loves the B&M railroad, being from Boston. This book is well written, factual and makes hubby happy so why not?
