The State of Maine was an overnight passenger train between New York City and Portland, Maine, that was operated jointly for more than 50 years by the Boston and Maine Railroad and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. It departed New York's Pennsylvania Station at 9:00 p.m. and arrived at 6:45 a.m. at Portland's Union Station, where connections were available on Maine Central Railroad trains to most Maine locations.[1] It ended service in October 1960, the last direct passenger rail service between New Hampshire or Maine and New York City.
It was the only New York City-to-Maine train to operate year-round.
