Take a bold piece of Maine rail history along for the ride with this Bangor and Aroostook Railroad travel mug. From its 1891 incorporation to its expansion across northern Maine and connection into New Brunswick in 1915, the railroad followed a remarkable regional path. Potato traffic became central to its business, alongside paper, pulpwood, and wood chips, while its colorful 1950s boxcars made a lasting impression. Made for rail enthusiasts, road travelers, and collectors drawn to the story of a distinctive Maine railroad.
Incorporated in 1891, the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad combined the former Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad and Bangor and Katahdin Iron Works Railway. Based in Bangor, it expanded across northern Maine, reaching Houlton and Oakfield by 1894, Caribou in 1895, Van Buren in 1899, and Fort Kent in 1902. A southern extension reached Searsport in 1905, and the railroad connected across the Saint John River to New Brunswick in 1915. Potatoes, paper, pulpwood, and wood chips shaped its freight business; heated boxcars carried potatoes from 1895, and potato traffic supplied half its revenue after World War II. Its red, white, and blue boxcars drew national attention in the 1950s. Passenger trains included the Aroostook Flyer and Potatoland, with service ending in 1961. The company merged with Punta Alegre Sugar and Railroad Company to form Bangor Punta in 1964. Acquired by Iron Road Railways in 1995, it entered bankruptcy in 2002; its lines were sold in 2003 to Rail World and initially operated by the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway. Track ownership later divided among the state of Maine, the Central Maine and Quebec Railway, and Canadian Pacific.
