This is quite a project.

Here are the most recent (recent being inconsistently updated to the 1970's-2000's) valuation maps. They will help.

PM me if there are any missing that you are looking for or you want something older.

That's a good suggestion. Colby College has microfilms of the entirety of the "Morning Sentinel". If I decide to do an article, that is what I will do. Unfortunately the quality of newspaper photos are no where near what I would need to discern the details I am looking for. To add insult t...

I am working on a digital recreation of the station in Waterville and am looking for any plans/pictures of it that are not easily available online. While pictures of the station at a distance definitely help ( I am missing some angles that I am making educated guesses on), interior photos and photos...

Waterville Station Demolition Pictures Wanted

Recently, pictures of the demolition of the Waterville station in '63 were sold on eBay. I unfortunately missed the auction. Having grown up in Waterville, I am deeply interested in the building, and have a small collection of plans, photos, and artifacts from it. Did anyone here purchase the photos...

In somewhat of a reply/comment to jbvb, on the Maine Central's side, they made at least 4 linen copies of the unaltered maps. I know the whereabouts of all four, and know for sure that at least 2 of them are 100% original and unaltered. Boston and Maine Historical Society and University of Maine has...

I'm trying to track down unaltered Boston and Maine valuation plans. Boston and Maine Historical and NMRO both only have altered ones, and the unaltered ones that may exist in Billerica are inaccessible Are there any other places I can find them (registry of deeds, state office, private collections)...

Oh nice!

I emailed them months ago and got no response. I'll try again

Did they make any plans with stations, curve data, pole location, stops etc.?

Detailed maps/plans

What would be the best avenue to find detailed maps of interurban lines? In a perfect world, I'd like to find valuation maps of them (that's the amount of detail I'm looking for) but it doesn't appear they weren't created for transit systems. Specifically looking for the companies in Maine (Watervil...

The holes will be plugged while she retains her friction bearings. Don't forget we will be doing a complete (minus the drivers) roller bearing conversion. The journal boxes will only serve a cosmetic purpose after that
