In another topic I happened to ask a question about Grand Trunk Railway service between Montreal & Portland. One of the responses had the link below posted to it showing GTR Train #16/17 which served Portland until the passenger service shutdown. Was this a named train? If not did it even have a 'nickname' or some other type of reference that people occasionally referred to it? It seems unusual for a train of its importance not to be named, but perhaps understandable considering the GTR Main Line from Portland to Montreal was by that time almost a secondary branch to the railroad.
