Anyone heard of Maine's 2' gauge railroads?

There have been quite a few books in the last few years on the Maine 2 footers; without doubt, the best of the bunch just for the enjoyment of reading it is "The Maine Two footers" by Linwood W. Moody. <br /> <br />Mr. Moody was an oldtime railroader, starting with his hometown Georges Valley RR early in the 20th Century, and finishing his career with the Belfast & Moosehead Lake in the early 70's. He also got to know the men who made Maine's two foot roads work and railfanned those roads in the 30's and 40's. [he also helped set up the original Edaville RR after WWII] <br /> <br />The neatest thing about Mr. Moody was his writing style...a stereotypical Down East DRY sense of humor. <br /> <br />I have several books by Robt. Jones, and I hope he had the good sense not to mess with Moody's delightful storytelling. I don't have the new edition, but the original from 1959. [does that make me OLD?] <br /> <br />
