PSB to rule this month on CP Vermont passenger service
Vermont Public Service Board chair Ernest Gibson said a ruling on Canadian Pacific Railway’s request to end its last passenger train in Vermont may come this month after reviewing the April 14 hearing transcript in St. Johnsbury. Officials cited ongoing losses and declining ridership as the company seeks to discontinue Wells River to the Canadian border service. Local officials urged restoring Boston and Maine service to justify CP passenger trains, while the state opposed the discontinuance.
