Description |
This is a front 3/4 fireman's side view of the Boston & Maine Railroad's #6000 "Flying Yankee," a one of a kind stainless steel, streamlined train set that revolutionized passenger service on the B&M and Maine Central. It is seen here at Dover, New Hampshire with unknown crew and officals. This photo was taken during an exhibition of the "Flying Yankee", circa 1936. The #6000 was a revolutionary and more efficent way of railroading. In an era of steam locomotives, the "Flying Yankee" was certainly a novelty. This is a black & white photo and was found among photographs origianlly owned by the Boston & Maine Marketing Department. |
