Prohibition Party
The Prohibition Party's proudest moment came in 1919, with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed the production, sale, transportation, import and export of alcohol. The era during which alcohol was illegal in the United States is known as "Prohibition".
Montrealer (train)
The "Montrealer" and the "Washingtonian" first ran during the days of Prohibition in the United States. "The Washingtonian" became known unofficially as "The Bootlegger" or simply "The Boot" because passengers often carried well-hidden bottles of liquor on the southbound train. During the Prohibition years the "Washingtonian" was a favorite target of U.S. federal agents who would board in St. Albans and search the train looking for illegal liquor.
