Vermont Rail Action Network

The added White River Jct.-New Haven train frequency in the Colorado railcar DMU plan and the knowlege corridor plan 1b restores connections to Amtrak’s Chicago, West Coast and Florida routes. Before schedule changes imposed by Amtrak for operational reasons broke these connections to the existing train, they typically accounted for 25+ passengers daily. The restored St. Albans-Montreal VT/”Ambus” connection should also produce at minimum 25 passengers each day. Combined these actions alone raise ridership by 50+ per day.
