A collection of photos of the former route of the Monson Railroad, the last of the Maine two-footers, as it and the slate industry it served looked in 2007:

Always breaks my heart a bit to see those abandoned r.o.w.'s in such gorgeous country. Another reason for two-footer fans to visit the WW&F, and get behind the other Maine two-foot restorations.

Thank you for the link. Those are beautiful pictures, though I'm surprised there are none of the south end of the line at Monson Junction (where the shared Monson-BAR depot was still standing last time I was there) or the Ladd Brook trestle, for example.
