{"product_id":"maines-two-footer-railroads-mike-torreson-9781467109376","title":"Maine's Two-Footer Railroads: The Linwood Moody Collection","description":"Beginning in 1932, Linwood W. Moody (1905-1983) documented in photographs and collected artifacts of Maine's two-footer railroads. A pioneer of railroad photography, his work led to articles in numerous publications such as Railroad Magazine and later culminated in Linwood's 1959 publication The Maine Two-Footers . Among his personal effects at the time of his death in 1983 were hundreds of photographs of three of the Maine two-footers--the Wiscasset, Waterville \u0026amp; Farmington Railway; the Sandy River \u0026amp; Rangeley Lakes Railroad; and the Monson Railroad. The state of Maine was unique in regards to its narrow-gauge railroads. Most railroads in the United States have a width of four feet, eight and one half inches between the rails, known as standard gauge. Due to the efforts of George Mansfield, a railroad promoter of the late 1800s, a very narrow gauge of two feet between the rails was successfully developed in the state of Maine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Torreson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467109371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467109376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.54w x 0.32d","brand":"Mike Torreson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44829771071743,"sku":"9781467109376","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_983ecccc-2077-431e-afc3-74be2bc925be.jpg?v=1708451601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maines-two-footer-railroads-mike-torreson-9781467109376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
