MAINE TWO FOOT RAILROAD RESORCES

(BOOKS, PERIODICALS, AND ON-LINE LISTS)

**********


BOOKS

This section originated as a Book List compiled by Dennis Cranston (his revision 12, dated 7/17/02), and posted to Yahoo Groups:MaineTwoFooters. It has been edited here to group books by railroad, and there may be a few additions from time to time. The SR&RL RR thanks Dennis for permission to use his list.

Most of these books are long out of print, but might be found in libraries, hobby shops, used book stores, or on-line auctions.
