With the same patriotic fervor as Maine's response to a call for troops in the Civil War, more than 35,000 men and women across the state joined the armed forces in 1917-1918 to fight in aid of America's European allies against Germany, as well as to redress German destruction of American vessels in the North Atlantic. Mainers also provided vital support to the United States and the Allies through war-related industries, like shipbuilding, munitions, textiles, and agriculture, while purchasing more than $100 million in war bonds and donating bandages, books, and other comforts of home to the troops. The war may have been "over there," but its effects were found throughout the state of Maine.

Mobilized in 1917 by New England railroads, this all-volunteer regiment served the victorious Allied armies on the Western Front in World War I by moving men and materials over narrow gauge railroads. The 14th Engineers helped the American army fulfill its plans to end the costly war in 1918.But the experiences of the 14th were only a small part of a ninety year history of the Boston and Maine, Maine Central and other New England railroads. Maps, illustrations, photographs and extensive appendices help support railroad history spanning the 1880s to the 1970s. The book is packed with human interest stories, ranging from presidents to clerks.An expansive bibliography offers further reading. The careers of several 14th veterans are interwoven against a fifty year backdrop of railroad events. One of the men became a railroad vice president, while another was probably the last 14th survivor. Local history features parts of New England and especially southern Maine.Over 50 years of New England Railroad history are seen through the eyes of a handful of World War I veterans who served together in one regiment.
