Stowe's $510 Railway

A history of the Mount Mansfield Electric Railroad, which ran from Stowe Vermont to Waterbury Vermont from the late 1800s until 1932. Included are railroad commissioner reports, corporate documents, descriptions of route and equipment, two maps and five photographs. Learn how the tiny village of Stowe Vermont parlayed a $510 investment in stocks into an 11 mile long electrified railroad. Uncover the mysteries about this railway that no other author has found or detailed, including plans to extend it to Morrisville and even Canada. The book also serves as a capsule history of early settlement and development in the area.
