The Boston & Maine Railroad serviced most of New England as a
primary mode of transportation during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The
birth of this railroad spurred the growth and development of industry
in New England. 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.
