^V—-—-———Y ^R^- Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society —»^v—-—-———y ^r^- Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society ^—•• P.O. BOX 9116 • LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS 01853-9116 January 15,2018 Dear fellow BMRRHS member; Please enjoy the enclosed as an extra benefit of membership! One of the advantages of being a B&MRRHS member is the opportunity to enjoy historical material from our Archives. Material which otherwise would remain secluded in private collections—IF it remained in existence at all. This 36-page, brochure was produced 77 years ago! At the time, World War II had begun to rage across Europe and Asia, but was yet to involve America. The Depression economy had eased, and what with war work beginning, many families finally had a few dollars available for discretionary spending. And what better way to invest those limited dollars than on a weekend Snow Train to the North Country with family and/or friends! By this brochure's late 1940 publication, the B&M's Public Relations Department had developed Northern New England winter sports promotion to a high Art Form! After all, not only had the B&M hosted the world's first Snow Train a decade earlier on January 11,1931, but subsequently the world's first Rail/an's Trip on August 24,1934. Leisure train travel was now "In" and "Fun"! Plus, for the B&M a profitable use of otherwise idle passenger equipment over numerous weekends. Making the trips even more enticing, "Official Snow Train Photographer" Stanley Bauman has supplied photographs of an abundance of attractive young ladies in their ski gear. And, the Passenger Traffic and Promotional staff has also been busy selling advertising of numerous lodging and meal establishments across Northern New England and into Quebec, Canada. With options starting at a budget-friendly Sunday-only $2.50 round trip to Plymouth, NH through a $15 round trip [plus Pullman charge, if desired], up to Quebec City's fabled Chateau Frontenac [from $7.00 a night!], the B&M had offerings all across the winter sports marketplace. And the Armstrong Co. on North Station's Mezzanine would even rent you the equipment! Excepting World War II, Snow Trains will remain a B&M institution through February 26,1972. May your Snow Train trip on the Boston & Maine be most enjoyable! And contrary to opening night on Broadway, please don't "Break a Leg"!! Cheers! Carl R.

  • The Long Trail: Abbreviated
    The Long Trail: Abbreviated By: Aaron Shore 1950 LS10779_000 Purpose Hiking the Long Trail has been a dream of mine since I came to UVM four years ago. It is America’s oldest long-distance hiking trail, measuring 270 miles from Canada to Massachusetts. I created this scrapbook so others could share my experience, and learn the history of the trail. Enjoy. LS11220_000 Camel’s Hump, 1880 LS09840_000 Sunrise from Mansfield, 1875 I began my trip in southern Vermont with James Taylor and this image in mind. I wanted to be a part of the beauty that the Vermont landscape encompassed and was known for. James Taylor, a professor at the Vermont Academy, first conceived the trail in 1910. His goal was to “make the Vermont Mountains play a larger part in the life of the people.” LS12596_000 Camels Hump, 2004 Killington Peak, 1975 LS03624_000 A view from the top of Killington Peak. The reason James Taylor first conceived the Long Trail was because he couldn’t take his students into the wilderness without bushwhacking. He wanted to be able to travel from Killington Peak to Pico Peak, a short walk on a trail. During the first 10 days of my trip, I went from excited to dismal. I rarely saw anyone else on the trail and there were far more trees than mountain top views. I finally came across this nice women who told me about the Green Mountain Club (GMC). LS05755_000 Little Rock Pond, 1977 In 1911, a group of 23 people, including Mr. Taylor, got together in Burlington, VT and formed the GMC.

  • A Guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont
    A guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont 1 Introduction Welcome to Mendon, known throughout Vermont as the “Gateway to the Green Mountains.” Mendon is blessed with the best mountain scenery in southern Vermont. Killington Peak (Vermont’s second highest summit), Mendon Peak (the highest summit in Vermont without a marked trail to the top), Blue Ridge (overlooking the Otter Creek Valley) and Bald Mountain and East Mountain (both overlooking Rutland City and beyond) are all within our town boundary. Nearby Pico Peak further adds to the dramatic mountain skyline that we all enjoy. Over 90% of our town is forested and over 50% is protected in the Green Mountain National Forest, three Vermont State forests (Coolidge, Aitken and Jeffords) and the Rutland City forest. Hiking trails abound in Mendon, from the world-famous Long Trail/Appalachian Trail corridor to casual saunters like the Tamarack Notch loop to opportunities for bushwhacking up untrammeled summits like Mendon Peak. You can understand why we proclaim Mendon to be the hiking capital of southern Vermont. This ”Hike Mendon” trail guide is your ticket to mountain adventure. It is not intended as a comprehensive tenth-of-a-mile by tenth-of-a-mile trail guide. You will not find GPS coordinates anywhere. Many sources available in print and on-line do all that very well. Rather it is a guidebook that will help you find trail heads, alert you to where the trail goes left or right or straight up and what to expect in different seasons, including winter. There are also sections on hiking our snowmobile and back country ski trails and descriptions on where to start your bushwhack for those trail-less summits.
