Vermont railroad subsidy could save 96 mile line
Samuel M. Pinsley owner of the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad plans to meet Gov. Deane C. Davis to discuss finances.

The concern follows a 14 car derailment in Danville last month and Pinsley's remark about abandoning the connector service from St. Johnsbury to Swanton.
