Our 212-page hardcover book, Minuteman Railroad: Boston & Maine’s Lexington Branch, arrived from the printer on January 17. If you have wondered about the standard-gauge railroad that served Arlington, Lexington, Bedford, Concord, and Billerica from 1846 to 1981, this will probably answer your questions. Detailed are its creation, growth, and decline, its passenger and freight operations, and its impact on the five towns. You may order a copy for $49.95 plus tax and shipping (see “Store”).
For those who would like to make a purchase in person or just say hello, we will be having an open house from 2:00 to 5:00 pm on Sunday, February 26. The Freight House will be open for sales and refreshments will be available in RDC 6211. This is the only day the Freight House and railcar will be open to the public this winter.
