The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad (reporting mark BAR) was a United States railroad company that brought rail service to Aroostook County in northern Maine. Brightly-painted BAR boxcars attracted national attention in the 1950s. First-generation diesel locomotives operated on BAR until they were museum pieces. The economic downturn of the 1980s, coupled with the departure of heavy industry from northern Maine, forced the railroad to seek a buyer and end operations in 2003. It was succeeded by the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway.

  • Le Bangor and Aroostook Railroad (sigle de l'AAR : BAR) était un chemin de fer américain de classe I, qui permit de relier Bangor au Comté d'Aroostook dans le nord du Maine. Dans les années 1950, les fourgons (ou box cars) du BAR reçurent une livrée bleu, blanc, rouge, identifiable dans le pays tout entier. Les locomotives diesel de première génération entrèrent en service sur le BAR jusqu'à ce qu'elles deviennent des pièces de musée. Les changements économiques des années 1980, couplés au départ des industries lourdes dans le nord du Maine, obligèrent la compagnie à chercher un repreneur et cessa ses activités en 2003. Sa ligne fut reprise par un chemin de fer de classe II appelé Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway. (fr)
