Second, enlarged edition of this wonderful collection of black and white photos. Dr. Philip Hastings helped transform the look and feel of railroad photos by showing not just the locomotives but also the people who worked on them and the landscapes they traversed. Few outside of New England are aware that the Canadian National subsidiary Grand Trunk had extensive operations throughout Maine and northern Vermont. The Grand Trunk main line from Portland, Maine, through Island Pond, Vermont, to Monreal, Quebec, was a conveyor for international trade between these two important Eastern ports. Portland was an important connection for Montreal, especially when the St. Lawrence River was frozen for the winter, seasonal traffic of wheat and produce were the line's mainstay for many years. From steam to diesel, legendary photographer Phillip R. Hastings was there to capture it all on film. This volume show the face of New England when steam ruled the rails and the Grand Trunk helped bind Canada and the US together. With map. 64 pages.
