This timetable had 18 panels per side, but just one of them is sufficient to show Boston & Maine’s numerous passenger trains between Boston and Portland. The railroad offered four trains in each direction, plus a fifth train went part of the way southbound and for some reason wasn’t balanced by a northbound train. This single panel also shows connections over other railroads with trains going to Montreal, Bangor, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

A few of the other panels have more details about some of the connections, but most are devoted to advertising summer resorts in Maine and nearby states and provinces. Another panel has a map of downtown Boston showing the location of Boston & Maine’s station along with seven other train stations that then existed in the city. Three of those stations were for railroad that were eventually absorbed by B&M, which built the current North Station to serve all four routes.

None of the listed trains have names. The map on the back covers not just Boston to Portland but New York City to Quebec City and Plattsburg on the west to New Brunswick on the east, thus showing the many railroads that connected (often with a change of terminals) with Boston & Maine trains.
