In addition to carrying eager skiers to the slopes of northern New England, trains regularly carried staples such as milk around the region. In this illustrated program, Dave Saums—editor of the Rutland Railroad Historical Society’s Newsliner Quarterly Journal—will explore the movement of milk by railroad, which is how milk was collected from across New England and upstate New York and delivered to the Boston and New York milk markets. These daily trains were critical to providing fresh milk for city children, that is until trucks and the highway system became the preeminent mode of transport in the 1960s.The event will be held at the Exeter Town Hall, 9 Front Street, Exeter.
