Start planning your fall leaf peeping trips now on the Ethan Allen Express. Throughout 2020, Vermont remained mostly off limits to out-of-state travelers due to coronavirus travel restrictions. In addition to implementing quarantine and testing requirements that effectively banned overnight hotel stays, Governor Phil Scott’s state of emergency also meant that Amtrak suspended train service in and out of the state from March 26, 2020. Now, more than 80 percent of Vermonters age 12 and up have started their vaccination series, and all COVID restrictions have been lifted statewide.

Interested buyer of Orangeville’s rail line, Municipal Transit Solutions (MTS), is still awaiting the asset’s price to make an offer since first meeting with Town staff late last month.
Three weeks after the meeting, the Town of Orangeville told Municipal Transit Solutions CEO Steve Ostrowski that the Orangeville Railway Development Corporation (ORDC) has put out a Request For Proposal (RFP) to assist in the consultation and sale of some of the land parcels of the rail line. Until that process is complete, the Town won’t be accepting any offers.
“There are some real estate assets that the Orangeville Railway Development Corporation owns that are part of the railway corridor, specifically rail lands in Brampton and rail lands in Orangeville, and there’s a little bit in Alton as well,” said Mayor Sandy Brown.
