As the twentieth century dawned; the Boston Maine Railroad Company controlled virtually all of the rail lines in New Hampshire; as well as much of the service in Maine and Massachusetts. Ultimately; the company operated more than 2;000 stations in northern New England. The train was the most important mode of travel; and the stations were the center of the community. Boston Maine in the 20th Century continues the first pictorial history of the railroad company; entitled Boston Maine in the 19th Century. With more than 200 rare images and historical narrative; the book details the trains and their destinations: the terminals; stations; depots; and whistle stops to which they sped. Times changed; and the railroad was passed by; however; its legacy lives on.

This was a great journey back in time to the development of the area. I enjoyed it thoroughly and even learned a thing or two about the growth of the southeast area. If you lived here. this is a must read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
