Amtrak Vermont Service Will Resume This July

Vermont Agency of Transportation has announced that Amtrak passenger rail service in Vermont will resume effective July 19, 2021. “We are very pleased to announce the restart of these vital transportation services for Vermonters and those who wish to travel to and from Vermont by train or bus,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn. “With the Governor’s announcement this week of the Vermont Forward Plan to re-open Vermont fully during the next few months, we now have a target date for when we will be able to safely resume Amtrak and transit services in July.  Two Amtrak routes  serve Vermont. The Vermonter originates in Washington, DC, travels through Connecticut and Massachusetts, and has Vermont stops in Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, Windsor, White River Junction, Randolph, Montpelier, Waterbury, Essex Junction, and St. Albans. The Ethan Allen Express originates in New York City and makes stops in Castleton and Rutland. The Agency is working to extend the service to Burlington beginning in 2022 and including stops in Middlebury and Vergennes.
