Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend a good picture book on the B&M? In a perfect world (for me), such a book would focus on the rural areas served by the B&M and not the big cities...but in any event, I'm just looking for a good book, lots of color pictures, minimal text-something like the "Trackside around..." book series. Thanks for any recommendations!

Some books that immediately come to mind are:

Boston & Maine In Color by Jeremy & Jeffrey Plant

Boston & Maine In Color, Vol. 2 by Carl Byron

Boston & Maine Trackside by Carl Byron & Arthur Mitchell

Trackside Along The Boston & Maine 1945-1975 by Carl Byron & Donald Hills

All are published by Morning Sun Books.

For a rural emphasis,

Boston and Maine - Forest, River, and Mountain - Robert Willoughby Jones; Pine Tree Press, 2000.
