Jim Made several visits to the DAR, getting to know the crews along the way.

Boston & Maine - the early Guilford years
Photographer Bob Barnett recalls his efforts to document operations on the Boston & Maine during the early Guilford years of 1982-1986. He takes us trackside during this interesting transitional period that featured Delaware & Hudson and Maine Central units operating on the B&M. The run-through power brought a wide variety of colorful Alcos, U-Boats and Geeps to the B&M and Bob was there to capture the action on film. This promises to be a fascinating look back to what many call ‘The Golden Age of Guilford’. Don't miss it!
