Hoff States Rutland Railway Abandoned Pending ICC Approval
Gov. Philip Hoff announced at a news conference that the Rutland Railway is effectively abandoned pending final approval from the Interstate Commerce Commission. Ernest W. Gibson III seeks ICC clearance in Washington as the line has been idle for nearly three years. Hope glimmers for resuming service on the Burlington to White Creek, N.Y. stretch, with negotiations ongoing for the Rutland to Bellows Falls segment. The Delaware & Hudson, Boston & Maine, and Central Vermont are among the connecting lines involved. The Legislature authorized a $2.7 million bond issue to buy Rutland right of way for lease or sale to operators.
