Vermont steam train plan fades amid funding delays
The Vermont Bicentennial rail project stalls as federal funding arrives late and short of the needed one million. Steamtown backs preservation efforts with old Long Island cars awaiting funds to become parlor cars. Delayed start pushes work into late summer and fall, risking the dream of a revived passenger network and a coordinated tourist system.
