Robert Willoughby Jones' three-volume series on the Boston & Maine, "Three Colorful Decades of New England Railroading" (1991), "City and Shore" (1999) and "Forest, River and Mountain" (2000) rank among the most informative, best illustrated and best-received books ever published on the B&M.

In this episode we are joined by Mr. Jones as we discuss his own memories of the Boston & Maine growing up around Marblehead, Massachusetts; the story behind his books; and some of the interesting historical anecdotes he discovered while researching.
