The Bangor & Aroostook Railroad (B&A) was formed in 1891 and served northern Maine. In 1995 it was sold to Iron Road Railways which operated the company until bankruptcy in 2002. Portions of the B&A were sold to various other short-line companies, and some of the trackage is now owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. For sale is a copy of the BAR company magazine, "Maine Line", from May-June 1972. The magazine contains BAR company news, promotions and other personnel news, in addition to feature stories. Features in this edition include (a) the use of 2-way radios to ensure track safety; (b) employees who received orange safety jackets for their efforts; (c) a conductor who helps resolve operating problems; (d) a "ghost town" Griswold on the B&A; much more.
