Two Foot Gauge in Maine: Sandy River and Rangely Lakes
The little engines race through the wildflowers of summer and slug it out with the drifts of Maine winter. Featuring freight and passenger trains—plus the unusual rail buses—you ride the cabs, cabooses and flat cars, put your shoulder to the turntable and actually pull the throttle. Black & White, 31 min.
Boston & Maine Steam: Heavy Haulers and Crack Limiteds
Travel back to the mid-1930s to see action on the busiest divisions of the Boston & Maine. Steam locomotives work the Portland, New Hampshire and Fitchburg Divisions and the Connecticut Valley Line in both summer and winter. Huge hulking Berkshires battle the Ashburnham grade. High stepping passenger varnish—“The Flying Yankee,” “The Alouette,” and “The Red Wing”—go screaming by, as do similar name trains with brass-railed observation cars.
