Bangor & Aroostook and its State of Maine Products Box Cars

Bangor & Aroostook Railroad linked Northern Maine with America.  Proudly painted on its red, white and blue box cars the slogan "State of Maine Products."
As their box cars circulated across America, they acted as rolling billboards for the farmers and craftsmen of Aroostook County and their neighbors.  People from Alabama to California wondered, "Some day I may venture to that proud corner of Maine where those patriotic box cars call home."
As Americans ate their Maine potatoes and sat on their rockers, perhaps they thought a little harder about The Pine Tree State.  All because red, white and blue box cars roamed our nation so proudly.
