Effort To Save Vermont Covered Railroad Bridges
In Vermont, activists push to preserve at least one of three covered bridges in Lamoille County slated for razing by the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad.

Robert Hagerman notes railroad plans to raze them amid new rolling stock purchases. Arthur Williams argues saving at least one merits serious consideration as a link between Vermont’s railroad era and the present.
