This book is great for anyone looking for a starting point for historical and geographical information on the railroads of northern New England. Maps of each railroad (as well as certain regions) featured in this book make it easy to locate where a railroad was located, what cities it connected, among other things. I highly recommend this book for model railroaders and railfans, as well as anybody just interested in general history of the New England region.

I was looking for an introduction to the railroads of New Hampshire, and this volume provided the answer.

The Rail Lines of Northern New England by Robert M. Lindsell is part of a valuable set of three books published by Branch Line Press about the railroads of New England. I strongly suggest that you buy all of these. The other two books are the Rail Lines of Southern New England by Ronald Dale Karr (the owner of these publications) and Lost Railroads of New England by R. D. Karr. These three books are scholarly and thorough and a must for railroad enthusiasts of this region.

Very helpful to do research for modeling early RR in this part of the country.
