Synopsis

Packed with dozens of maps and over 100 vintage and current photographs, The Rail Lines of Northern New England chronicles the history of every common carrier rail line built in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each of the 77 chapters tells the story of the rise and fall of a separate line and includes a map detailing the line's relationship to other lines; an all-time station list; and summaries of construction dates, operators, passenger service, and abandonments. State maps at the beginning of the book provide an overview of the lines' locations and a key to the relevant line-by-line chapters.
