Hi,
A friend and co-worker found a copy of the June, 1910 edition of Whitney's Pocket Guide to Portland, Maine buried either under the floor or inside the wall of his barn, and gave it to me to scan in. I've completed the scanning, and posted it at http://photobucket.com/PortlandMeGuide1910 . It contains a pile of rail timetables I thought might be of interest to the members of this group:

- B&M Western Division Boston to Portland (unfortunately, the Portland to Boston page is missing, the only apparently missing table as all others list both directions);
- B&M Eastern Division between Boston and Portland;
- B&M Worcester, Nashua and Portland Division between Portland (Preble St.) and Rochester/Worcester;
- Union Branch service connecting Union Station, Preble St. Station and Portland Junction;
- MCRR, Portland to Bangor and Bar Harbor, primarily via the Lower Road;
- MCRR, Portland to Rockland and Farmington;
- MCRR Mountain Division, Portland to the White Mountains, Montreal and Quebec;
- MCRR, Portland to Lewiston and Skowhegan via the Back Road, as well as to Rumford Falls, Rangeley Lakes and Moosehead (Kineo Short Line);
- GT between Portland and Montreal plus the Lewiston-Lewiston Junction connector;
- Condensed timetables and route info for the entire Portland streetcar/trolley system;
- Other goodies such as the Casco Bay Ferry schedules, steamship departures, Post Office info that mentions when trains carrying mail arrive and depart, etc,
- Plus a host of vintage advertisements.
"...And then I thought, every time some company creates a more powerful locomotive does Superman become more powerful as well or is he stuck at 1938 locomotive power levels?" - A friend of mine elsewhere
