The Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad is a 33-mile standard gauge tourist railroad owned by the City of Belfast, Maine.

These scrapbooks contain photographs, newspaper clippings, ephemera, railroad documents, envelopes, tickets, magazine articles, flyers, train orders, postcards and waybills. These albums were prepared by Linwood H. Moody, a noted Maine railroad historian and agent at Brooks, Maine, on the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad. Album 90 most of the album consists of 3 x 5 color and black-and-white photographs of the B&ML engines, cars, and trains. Album 91 contains newspaper clippings that recount the history of the B&ML. There are clippings about operations in the 1960s and 1970s. Other material includes an employee timetabl, an equipment roster and a financial report. There is an artistic company-prepared map of the railroad. There is a railfan history of the railroad prepared by the Railroad Enthusiasts in conjunction with a 1961 fan trip and another in 1964.
