As a avid snowmobiler I can say that the sport does bring in lots of business in the winter. How much is hard to say but I'll spend as much as $3K over a two week stay. There are 8 of us in the group so we do spend a lot of cash during our stay. Personally I would like to see the rails be put back i...

Getting north to Conway and from Conway to St J would require an enormous amount of restoration.

Vast (snowmobile club) got received their act 250 permit a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the phase I will be from St J to Joes Pond and Highgate to Sheldon Corners. Not a train but at least the ROW gets some use. I live on the Missisquoi trail and will be able to use the LVRT as soon as it reaches...

Ferroequinarchaeologist, You are absolutely correct with your statement on the abandonment of the line between Woodsville and Berlin. What is interesting to note is that there has been *talk* about reactivation of the line for VRS from St. Johnsbury thru North Concord, Gilman and South Lunenburg to...

Noticed the rails are coming up between Colebrook and Stewartstown. Looks like they just need to clean the ties out for a new trail.
