Boston & Maine, Part 2
(B & W) 32 Mins #SRP-B&M2 $29.95

Gives you steam operations on the three busiest divisions of the Boston & Maine as they were in the mid-1930’s. The Portland, New Hampshire and Fitchburg Divisions are shown summer and winter with a glimpse at the Connecticut Valley Line. The huge hulking Berkshires battle the Ashburnham grade. The high stepping varnish: “The Flying Yankee,” “The Alouette,” and “The Red Wing” and similar brass railed observation name trains go screaming by. Has the third streamlined train built in the world: “The Flying Yankee” in lightning fast flash-bys, the Union Pacific “City of Salina” on tour and the Rexall Special with its streamlined New York Central Hudson are included, even Alf Landon campaigning for President.
