Rutland Celebrates Amtrak Services

Friday, July 29 the Amtrak Ethan Allen Express train will begin service between New York City and Burlington.  On that day, a celebration will be held at the “James M. Jeffords Rail Passenger Welcome Center,” locally known as the Rutland Amtrak Station, as the Ethan Allen Express arrives from Burlington and travels to New York.  The public is invited to enjoy a complimentary lunch served by The Maple Angus beginning at 11:30am and brief remarks to follow at 12:00 noon as we celebrate this historic event.  The event is hosted by the Mayor of Rutland City, the Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC), the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), and the Chamber & Economic Development of the Rutland Region (CEDRR).
