great trip ride along video on this express of its route from Vermont and insect tour

[@firstlast1282]

Thank you. 🎥 🚈

[@TrainSounds]

They need to relocate the Rutland station so the train will not have to reverse.

[@clarklitty7426]

Sir thank you for let me say all broard

[@RobertPaniagua]

What if the train kept preceding south from Rutland on the other track instead of the one to New York City, would it end up in Springfield MA/Boston?

[@citylover94]

It would head down to Bennington, Vermont and then travel west to Albany, NY and then on to NYC. There is a proposal to reactivate that line by the state of VT. The study is a few years old now but they were considering running two service patterns. One train would follow the route that it does today and the other would go via Bennington.

[@rut5161]

There is another line that does go east to Bellows Falls then Springfield

[@kurtzimmer7113]

Always confused why they moved the Whitehall station. Just having the potential to serve both lines seems logical even if its only serving the Adirondack line now.

I saying all broard
