Amtrak Route Description
The following has been extracted from Amtrak's "Vermonter/Ethan Allen Express" Route Guide.
"For those passengers traveling to Albany, New York and beyond aboard the Ethan Allen Express, Welcome Aboard! The Ethan Allen Express, which links New York City and Rutland, Vermont, is the gateway to Western Vermont. The Ethan Allen Express is the successor to the Green Mountain, a New York-Rutland-Montreal train operated by the Rutland Railway. The Green Mountain made its last run in 1953, and ten years later the Rutland Railway itself met its demise. After a 43-year absence, passenger service to Rutland resumed in 1996. Today's train follows the route of Amtrak's Adirondack between New York City and a point just south of Whitehall, New York, from which it operates over the Vermont Railway, to reach Rutland. This service is financed primarily though funds made available by the Vermont State Department of Transportation.... "
The approximate rail travel distance between Rutland and New York City is 240 miles and the weekday rail travel time is about 6 hours and 20 minutes.
