Traffic
The Vermont Railway moves a wide variety of freight, as well as playing host to an Amtrak passenger train, the Ethan Allen Express. VTR moves large amounts of stone products from quarries in western Vermont, largely limestone in the form of slurry from OMYA mines above Rutland. VTR also moves a great deal of petroleum products into Vermont, including unit trains of fuel oil from Albany, New York, to Burlington.
