Hi Kathleen, I Have just come across your thread regarding information required on the above Railroad. It so happens, that I am looking at an old "Trains Magazine" dated January 1946. In it, it contains an article on the said Railroad, Black and White pictures, and a roster. It is about twelve pages long. If you can get your hands on a copy, it may have what you are looking for. Have a GREAT day Regards Blackie Blackie@montevue.co.nz

Check out Robert Stanley's "Narrow Gauge: The Story of the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad" published by Boston Street Railway Assn. in 1980. You might be able to get it through an inter-library loan. Also, George Hilton's "American Narrow Gauge Railroads" has a three page summary of the B,RB & L.
