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.
