U.S. Department of Transportation has announced that will provide USD 10 million to extend Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express passenger train service to Burlington, Vermont.
The grant will fund approximately 18 km of new rail track along the state-owned line and 3 passenger platforms in Middlebury, Vergennes, and Burlington. The project will also reduce long-term maintenance costs for the state, allow passenger trains to operate up to 95 km per hour, and enhance safety at multiple railway crossings.
