The new Democrat Vermont's Governor Peter Shumlin want to restore the Amtrak's train service from St. Albans VT until to Montreal QC with an high speed rail service and he met the Quebec's Prime Minister Jean Charest to discuss together about this project.
This HSR project might be a good thing to linking Montreal to New York City by high speed train to the Green Mountain state instead of passing through Plattsburgh NY and after the Adirondack State Park because it is protect by the New York State for environment and environmentalists and people living in the Adirondack State Park would make a disease if they modified the landscape to put an high speed rail system between Montreal to New York City passing through the Adirondack Mountains in the other side of the Lake Champlain already the Interstate 87 and several routes like the US 9 and State route 9N and other roads passes inside the park.
So it will not be a bad idea if the Montreal-New York City high speed train passing through Vermont state to reach New York or Montreal bypassing the Adirondack's Park from the other side of the Lake Champlain with stops at St. Albans train station with a US/Canada customs inspection station inside the Amtrak station.
Then, I'll see a new railroad track that connect the New England Central Railroad track to Vermont Railway track in downtown Burlington with a brand new station for the Burlington's Int'l Airport before the downtown Burlington station from Colchester to Burlington with a new overpass which passing over the Interstate 89 or that will be the Interstate 89 which passing over the new railroad track which will serve to the Montreal-New York high speed train.
After Burlington, the last Vermont's rail stop will be in Rutland before stopping to Saratoga Springs,NY to Albany and finally at the New York's Penn station. From Montreal the future train could leave Montreal's Central Station to Victoria Bridge until St-Lambert, a surburban town of Montreal to reaching the CN's Rouses Point subdivision and going to St-Jean-sur-Richelieu until Cantic in the town of Lacolle close to the US Border then to roll on NECR's Swanton subdivision to St. Albans VT crossing the Richelieu River bridge between Lacolle and Noyan QC and then the Lake Champlain Bridge between Alburg and West Swanton VT.
In closing, it would be a good idea to name the future train «The Montrealer Express» for Amtrak in reference that which was abolished in 1995. Or to name it «The Vermonter» adding «Express» «Vermonter Express» like the current train which run actually between Washington DC to St. Albans.
