I think the distinction shoul;d be made between cultivated & wild blueberries.
Maine is #1 for wild blueberries.
" but to clarify: the B&A is the Boston and Albany; BAR is the Bangor and Aroostook."
Not to anyone north of Bangor!!
Historically both the B&A (errm, you know, the Maine one) and the Boston & Albany marked their cars B&A. This of course led to problems. Not surprisingly, the Boston & Albany (AKA New York Central) won the argument (more $, more political clout, etc.) and BAR had to start using the BAR reporting marks. But in Maine nobody thinks much about the Boston & Albany one way or the other...
