Your picture of the Connecticut River at Bellows Falls shows trackage of the Green Mountain Railroad to Rutland which follows right along the river up to Riverside, the last location of Steamtown before it relocated to Pa. While scenic along that stretch, the Vermonter does not use those rails. At B...

I went from Claremont to north of Windsor that evening and didn't see any sign of wires down or emergency services vehicles evident. I figured the downed wires had to be between Windsor and WRJ since they stopped the train in Claremont.

While these Amtrak signs have been showing up in some MA and other states, they have showed up in Claremont NH, along with more directional signs to the station.. I assume (always dangerous to assume) that the local committee that has been promoting the Vermonter and put together the visit of the A...

Just as they did on Friday night's northbound, they discharged passengers at the Plains Road crossing. The event was a success, I felt, as a member of the organizing committee. We had 1215 people go through the Exhibit Train, compared to the 1075 that went through it last weekend in Brunswick. Many ...

That may be so, but we're not a large metropolitan area. We are seeing an increase in ridership (however small and insignificant it may seem to others) where many others are not. I think we will continue our efforts, no matter how futile they may appear.

Bob's booth was always my first stop at the show so I could get another picture of the Claremont Junction station. Looks like I'll be saving the gas money this year and won't go down if that's how they run things now. Ban both or neither.
