Add a little northern Maine railroad character to a relaxed gathering with this Bangor and Aroostook Railroad can cooler. The company grew from its 1891 beginnings into a network serving communities from Houlton and Caribou to Van Buren and Fort Kent. Its freight story carried potatoes, paper, pulpwood, and wood chips, and its red, white, and blue boxcars became a striking feature of the 1950s rail scene. An easy choice for railroad fans, Maine history lovers, and collectors of regional transport heritage.
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.
