If you folks are interested in Maine's two footers, I highly recommend Linwood Moody's book "The Maine Two Footers" from 1959. I don't have it in hand as my bookshelves are being remodeled and I'll have to dig it out of a box. Most books on the subject heavily reference this work, I'm fairly sure there are reprints available and in the US one can find/get used copies easily enough (overseas may be a different story). Another good place to look for information is through the various two footer heritage operations like the afore mentioned Maine Narrow gauge, as well as the Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington, and the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes. By no means am I more than knowledgeable on this past the "self defense" level from working in tourist/heritage rail in Maine (B&ML).
Interestingly, "Mr. Moody," as he was know to the local railfans, was an employee of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad, and it is rumored that much of his book was typed at the Brooks, ME station where he was an agent.
