BURLINGTON — The upcoming Canadian federal
election has derailed efforts to establish a customs facility that would
allow for the return of passenger train service from Vermont to
Montreal.
Amtrak ran the Montrealer ran from Washington, D.C., through Vermont, to Canada’s second largest city from 1972 to 1995, when the line was changed due to Amtrak budget cuts. It was rechristened the Vermonter, with a terminus in St. Albans.
