New England railroads once utilized otherwise empty weekend passenger trains to carry eager skiers to the slopes of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York state. In this illustrated program, Dave Saums - editor of the Rutland Railroad Historical Society’s Newsliner Quarterly Journal - will explore the memorable era when the Boston & Maine Railroad ran their “snow trains”, before well-plowed highways eliminated them.

If you cannot join us in person, the program can be viewed through Zoom, Facebook, and on Exeter TV Channel 6.
