Has anyone else purchased the new book: “Canadian Pacific To The East - The International Of Maine Division” ? It’s 350 pages loaded with photos and maps. Excellant!
No, but I picked up the book "By Brain and Brawn - An Account of How Railroad Tracks Were Maintained and of the Men Who Did the Job" by Walter M. Macdougall at the Brewer Train show. Very interesting book about maintaining the rail on the CP east of Greenville.
Also has a great appendix on the last inspection of the Greenville Branch of the B&A. Wayne Duplisea, former B&A engineer was telling me when he got started and was a junior engineer, he'd often get assigned to the Greenville Branch since it was one of the more remote jobs and often given to Engineers with less seniority. BL2 #51 and #56 were lightened to go over the Bunker Brook Trestle which is featured in that appendix.
