About a dozen residents addressed the board to either praise or condemn a decision made last fall to abandon the former “Raider” mascot, and four wrote letters that board members read aloud.

ALBANS ETHAN ALLEN EXPRESS ROUTE GUIDE NEW YORK • ALBANY • CASTLETON • RUTLAND We hope you enjoy reading this guide and learning about points of interest along our route. It is written starting from the routes’ southern terminus in either Washington or New York and proceeds to points north, ending in either Rutland or St. Albans, VT. If you boarded in either of these two cities, just read the guide in reverse, remembering to look in the opposite direction if one is referenced. AMTRAK STATIONS are shown in all capital letters, as opposed to upper and lower case for towns, sites and geographical areas through which the train travels but does not stop. The Amtrak System Timetable or the Vermonter/Ethan Allen panel card should be consulted for actual station times. While all service presented in this guide was accurate at the time of publication, routes and services are subject to change. Please contact Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, visit Amtrak.com, or call your travel agent for the most current information. The Vermonter has its origins in the original Montrealer service offered by the former Boston and Maine (B&M) Railroad, serving Washington, D.C. and Montreal, with intermediate stops. The B&M ceased passenger service in 1965, and Amtrak began to provide nationwide passenger service in 1971. Soon thereafter, Amtrak’s version of the Montrealer began serving the route. Other than a single two-year suspension of service, it lasted until 1995, when it was replaced by the Vermonter.
