National Train Day - Saturday May 12, 2012
Vermont Agency of Transportation cordially invites you to join us for the celebration of National Train Day, May 12th, 2012.
And what would National Train Day be without a train ride? Passengers will board the Vermont Rail System’s historic passenger cars, and travel from the Essex Junction Station to the historic Railway Station in Waterbury, and back. Engineer and locomotive power will be supplied by New England Central Railroad’s (NECR). Guests will board the railway coaches at the Essex Junction Station, departing at 10:00 A.M., arriving at Waterbury at approximately 10:35 AM, where all passengers will disembark to meet (be greeted by) Governor Peter Shumlin, Vermont Rail System staff, Amtrak officials, members of the Vermont Legislature, Village of Waterbury officials, and VTrans Rail staff. The train will depart from the Waterbury Station at 1:00 P.M. sharp to complete the roundtrip journey back to Essex Junction. Please make your reservations ahead of time as seating will be limited! All riders MUST be prepared to show identification upon request by train crewmembers. For reservations, you may either call Bob Atchinson at 802.828.5993 , or email Robert.Atchinson@state.vt.us
