 Boothbay Railway Roster (http://railwayvillage.org/boothbayrailwayb.html)

The only original Maine two foot passenger car the have started life as a combine on Bridgton and Saco River Railroad. Reconfigured to a coach by Edaville, and purchased by Boothbay a few years ago.

Some of the equipment that is listed on the roster is on display only.

I have been corrected. Coach 11 started life as baggage/RPO 11 on the B&SR.
