SARATOGA SPRINGS As pandemic travel restrictions ease, Amtrak passenger rail service will be returning to Saratoga Springs in July, 15 months after it was suspended
The closed West Avenue CDTA-Amtrak station was re-opened briefly on Friday so local officials and passenger rail advocates could praise the return of the Ethan Allen service to Saratoga starting July 19, but call for restoration of the daily service even sooner. The route goes to Rutland, with stops in Schenectady and Saratoga Springs.
Attendees also heaped praise on Vermont’s pending extension of passenger rail from Rutland north to downtown Burlington in 2022, which will connect Saratoga and Burlington by train.
