About This Item
Brattleboro, VT: Stephen Greene Press, 1975. First edition, first printing . Hardcover. The Up-Country Line makes clear for the first time the devious interlockings of an operational and financial web - how Josiah Quncy was the first railroader of vision to make losses keep his line going; how BC&M managed to operate railroads of five different gauges, plus hotels and a steamboat; how they built branches with any materials at hand and kept old iron rails serviceable for years longer than nature intended." 64 pages with rare photographs, maps and rosters. Fine in fine and bright price clipped dust jacket with light rubbing to rear panel.
