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 , 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 '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!
