A little more research reveals that the train was called the "'Gansett Special" ... which I sort of remembered from the placard I didn't purchase, but I wasn't 100% sure. Here is more info from the New Haven Railroad Historical and Technical Association website:

- The Narragansett park trains were covered in Volume 22, Issue 2 1991 of "The Shoreliner" (the NHRHTA magazine)
- Apparently, there was also an unrelated overnight train named "The Narragansett": http://www.nhrhta.org/htdocs/images0203.htm
