Re: For the Maine NGers

Interesting find, Dave. The year would be 1933. Thank you for posting this.

For all of their effort at trying to reviving the business, of course it didn't work, which makes the article really sad to read. At a distance of 80 years it's clear that the bargain basement strategy of offering "rates lower than any other railroad in Maine" was not a good idea.

(I sometimes wonder what would have happened to the SR&RL if it had just been mothballed for 15 years like the Kovalchicks did with the EBT, with everything held in stasis from 1936 to 1950 or so, just in time for Linwood Moody to come along with his book. Would it still be around today?)
