Yes, I would think that New England had it's share of logging lines as well. Not as dramatic and/or well known perhaps, but interesting prototypes are probably available with a little research. Even if you can't find a prototype, it might not be unreasonable to freelance one. I believe that the first locos to run in Eastern Ontario and the Maritimes were wood burners - much of Eastern Ontario's forests went for fuel... Booth had numerous schemes in the late 1800s whose impacts were felt into the 1920s. Depot Harbour is a good example (primarily ship-rail transfer really), but he also had interests in logging and mining in the Algonquin highlands of Ontario. It is interesting to note that there are now less people living in the Ottawa Valley than there were during the first 20 - 30 years of the 20th century. Andrew PS. Here is another link for you. It is a site listing railway museums around the world. They list six (6) in Maine: http://www.railmuseums.com/namerica/MAINE/
