Small, historic train stations dot the Vermont scenic landscape. A train-powered vacation takes some planning, but it’s great fun especially for kids and families. Amtrak's Vermonter takes passengers from Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City thru Connecticut and Massachusetts to the Green Mountains, with major Vermont stops at Brattleboro, Montpelier, Burlington/Essex Junction, and St. Albans. Meanwhile the Ethan Allen Express travels up the Hudson River in New York before reaching Rutland.
Rutland is the final stop on the Ethan Allen Express route. The station is in the heart of Central Vermont near Killington, and close to some of the best skiing in New England.
