Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region: Railroads of Southwestern New Hampshire and North-Central Massachusetts : Volume 3

In Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region Volumes I and II, the authors presented the rich history of the formation and operation of the Region’s railroads from their glory years to their abandonment, enriched by over 700 images, maps, and tables.

Iron Roads Volume III is a pictorial, carefully prepared to complement and enrich the first two volumes. Thumbnail historical reviews of the railroads discussed in the two earlier volumes are included, as well as yet another 300 images (ninety-seven in color). Selected pictures—the work of numerous photographers—represent mostly newly-discovered, unpublished material, rich in historic landscapes, railroad action, and people. An expanded look at the sole remaining major line—the former Vermont & Massachusetts Railroad—that runs across the southern edge of the Region is included. Since Volumes I-III are intended to be an integrated work, Volume III also contains both an errata and addenda for the first two volumes and a consolidated index for all three volumes.
