VERGENNES, Vt. — The inaugural run of Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express from Burlington, Vt., arrives at the Ferrisburg-Vergennes station on Friday, July 29, 2022. The train had previously originated and terminated in Rutland, Vt. The station — added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2021 — is a Rutland Railroad building dating to the 1850s, relocated approximately 1,000 feet, reoriented, and restored. The initial trip required a bus bridge between Saratoga Springs and Albany, N.Y., because Amtrak service has been suspended past an Albany building said to be at risk of partial collapse [see “Amtrak now offering bus service …,” Trains News Wire, July 30, 2022]. — Tim Phelps
