An east wind is a wind that originates in the east and blows west. In Greek mythology, Eurus, the east wind, was the only wind not associated with any of the three Greek seasons, and is the only one of these four Anemoi not mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony or in the Orphic Hymns.
In Native American Iroquois culture, the east wind is said to be brought by the Moose, whose breath blows the grey mist and sends down cold rains upon the earth.
The East Wind was a summer passenger train between Washington, D.C. and resorts along the southern Maine coast. Travel time was about 14 hours over the route to Portland, Maine. The route was Pennsylvania Railroad from Washington, D.C. through Philadelphia to New York City, then New Haven Railroad to Groton, Connecticut where it left the Northeast Corridor to reach the Boston and Maine Railroad at Worcester, Massachusetts, whereby it continued northeastward, bypassing Boston. The train continued over the Boston & Maine to Portland, where a coach and diner continued to Bangor, Maine on the connecting Pine Tree Limited.
