I have been looking forward to this list. Is it intended to be comprehensive?
If yes, I'm wondering where the "Roger Williams*" and the "Narragansett Special**" might be.
** The "Narragansett Special ran from GCT to Narragansett Park to bring riders/bettors to see a horse race of the same name.

Steve,

My list was not intended to be absolutely comprehensive but I inadvertently omitted the 1950s era lightweight trains Roger Williams, Dan'l Webster and John Quincy Adams. Lynch mentions some other named trains which ran to Maine, including the Portland Night Express and the State of Maine but makes no mention of the Narragansett Special that I can find. I hesitate to guarantee that there weren't others I have not included.
