Volume one of a two-part story about the now largely forgotten railroads that once operated in the area of Monadnock, shining new light on the roads' stories from their beginnings to the present, tracing high and low points, glory days, times of struggles, disasters, and wrecks.
Today, the sounds of steam whistles and trains are no longer heard among the mountains and valleys in most of Cheshire County, New Hampshire, though to the west and south in the Connecticut Valley and in north-central Massachusetts, steel rails are still very much alive.
