Rutland Railroad: Green Mountain Flyer

The Green Mountain Flyer: Bellows Falls, VT & Chester, VT. The Bellows Falls Union Station will still take you back to the days when train travel was the only way to go. Built in the 1850’s, this structure still serves both the Green Mountain Railroad and Amtrak. The waiting room and ticket office look just as they did in the 1940’s. Climb aboard and travel through the scenic southern Vermont countryside in restored coaches pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive. Travel along the Connecticut and Williams Rivers, with spectacular views of Brockway Mills Gorge and two historic Vermont covered bridges. The Green Mountain Flyer also has a snack car offering beverages and other goodies while you ride. For current Green Flyer Railroad schedules, contact Green Mountain Railroad.
