Title: Passenger Trains of Northern New England in the Streamline Era, 1936-1966
Seller ID: TL200
From the 1935 debut of the Budd-built Flying Yankee to the demise of the Montrealer and Washingtonian in 1966, the rails of Northern new England were traveled by some of the most colorful and remarkable passenger train services in North America. This much-anticipated book documents the inter-city passenger train operations, history, and equipment of the Boston & Maine, Maine Central, Bangor & Aroostook, Central Vermont, and Grand Trunk railroads. From international pool trains and summer resort specials to homespun locals, the region's passenger trains are chronicled from their role in the vanguard of streamlining in the 1930s through their struggle and ultimate failure to survive against automobile and airline competition in the 1960s.
