Book Description
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.
About The Author
Born in England, author Robert M. Lindsell began a career in rail transportation thirty years ago with the London Underground. For eleven years he worked on the mass transit and light rail transit systems in Hong Kong, before coming to the United States as a consultant on projects extending from Maine (which provided the genesis for this book), through Chicago, and as far west as San Francisco and south to Puerto Rico. He has recently returned to the United Kingdom, where he continues to work as a transportation consultant.
Reader Reviews
This book is great for anyone looking for a starting point for historical and geographical information on the railroads of northern New England. Maps of each railroad (as well as certain regions) featured in this book make it easy to locate where a railroad was located, what cities it connected, among other things. I highly recommend this book for model railroaders and railfans, as well as anybody just interested in general history of the New England region.
