The Bangor and Aroostook tried hard to make their passenger service decent but after McGinnis took over the Boston and
Maine it was pretty difficult for both the Maine Central and the Bangor and Aroostook to continue.
Pretty late in the scheme of things their trains were still reasonably decent. The last trains came off in 1961 even after
there were no passenger train connections anywhere on the system. They still put out an attractive timetable for the bus
operation which held on for a while longer. I have a good number of timetables from this line.
