The Alouette was a passenger train jointly operated by the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railway between Montreal, Quebec and Boston, Massachusetts.[1] The Alouette began service on April 26, 1926, operating on a daytime schedule with coach and parlor car service.[1] Until late 1954, the train operated over Canadian Pacific trackage to Wells River, Vermont, where it entered the Boston and Maine for the remainder of the way to Boston via Plymouth and Concord, New Hampshire.[1] After the Boston and Maine abandoned its trackage north of Plymouth, the train was rerouted via White River Junction, Vermont.[1]

In 1956, the Alouette was discontinued; service on its schedule continued until 1965 using Budd Rail Diesel Cars.[1]
