Amtrak ran an inspection train on Tuesday from St. Albans, Vermont, to Montreal as part of a review of the feasibility of extending the Vermonter into Canada.
The inspection train traveled the freight-only Swanton Subdivision of New England Central and Canadian National.
The consist included Amtrak P42DC No. 101, Amcafe 43371 and American View, the Viewliner theater inspection car.
Stops were made to inspect various structures and track.
Amtrak’s former Montrealer served the route north of St. Albans until 1995. That train originated in Washington and operated via New York.
Amtrak continues to serve Montreal with its Adirondack, which operates via Albany-Rensselaer, New York.
