A concise history of the Maine Central Railroad Company through maps, photographs, advertisements, a directory of past presidents of the company, and an extensive chronology.
Sample paragraph:
Although Maine Central was charted in 1856 and organized in 1862, its history goes back to the very first days of Maine railroading. The present Maine Central system has evolved from the histories of over 50 individual railroads. Each of these railroads, with as little as two miles of trackage and as much as 115 miles, could support its own historical analysis of many pages. The purpose of this narrative is to briefly review the important railroad construction and events that have evolved into the present Maine Central Railroad.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/railroad_pubs/1045/thumbnail.jp
