The East Wind was a summer passenger train between Washington, D.C., and resorts along the southern Maine coast.

[1] Service started in June 1940 with two sets of pooled passenger cars painted yellow with a silver window band and pinstripes.

[4][5] Dining cars were sometimes leased from the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, or Boston and Maine or New Haven heavyweight diners were used.

The train ran for the last time in the summer of 1955, [2] ending earlier than planned after Hurricane Diane caused significant flooding throughout New England on August 18.

[6] Guilford Rail System used the name East Wind in 1995 for a through piggyback service of semi-trailers on flatcars between Springfield, Massachusetts, and Bangor, Maine.
