The railroads to be featured will be the Boston & Maine, Canadian Pacific, Belfast & Moosehead Lake, Maine Central, and Bangor & Aroostock. This power point program will emphasize the human element of the railroad industry by way of Ben's narration and stories and the photographs he took during those twelve years.
