Piggybacks Move Out on Vermont Railway Tracks
In Bennington crews at River Street siding have begun moving about 700 piggyback trailers stored since last fall on Route 67 flats. The pace is slow, with two tracks enabling loading of 10 flat cars or 20 boxes daily, signaling a possible upturn in the economy. Trailer Train Inc. rents the cars to Vermont Railway, which uses computer tracking with a St Louis hub for the operation.
