East Wind (train)
The ''East Wind'' was a summer passenger train between Washington, D.C. and resorts along the southern Maine coast. Travel time was about 14 hours over the route to Portland, Maine. The route was Pennsylvania Railroad from Washington, D.C. through Philadelphia to New York City, then New Haven Railroad to Groton, Connecticut where it left the Northeast Corridor to reach the Boston and Maine Railroad at Worcester, Massachusetts, whereby it continued northeastward, bypassing Boston. The train continued over the Boston & Maine to Portland, where a coach and diner continued to Bangor, Maine on the connecting ''Pine Tree Limited''.〔Jones, Robert Willoughby ''Boston and Maine'' (1991) Trans-Anglo Books ISBN 0-87046-101-X p.96〕
==Equipment==
Service started in June 1940 with two sets of pooled passenger cars painted yellow with a silver window band and pinstripes. Each train had an arch-roof baggage car, a dining car, and as many as 8 lightweight coaches. New Haven and Boston & Maine provided ''American Flyer'' coaches built in the 1930s by Pullman Company's former Osgood Bradley Car Company plant in Worcester. New Haven provided a similar grill car while Pennsylvania Railroad provided P-70 coaches and a lounge car. Similar service ran in the summers of 1941 and 1942.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=James VanBokkelen )〕
