Amtrak and Vermont Governor Howard Dean recently reached an agreement to save rail service in the state, at least for this year, meaning students will still be able to take trains to and from White River Junction, Vt. Amtrak will replace The Montrealer line, which ran from Washington, D.C., to Montreal with a stop in White River Junction, with The Vermonter on April 2, Amtrak said. Under the terms of the one-year compromise, Vermont will pay Amtrak $581,000 for the cost of the service, with a guarantee of an additional $169,000 if the number of passengers does not reach set levels, according to a press release.
