Bangor & Aroostook sleepers returned to Maine for awhile in VIA Rail service on the Atlantic. I was riding between Montreal and Halifax on Nov 10, 1981 and had a Roomette in “Greenock” xBAR “South Twin Lake”. As we crossed the Bangor & Aroostook east of Brownville Jct. I remember thinking that 20+ years earlier this car would have been running on those tracks in the Potatoland Special between Boston and Van Buren.
