VT Edition: Sam Lewis & Charlie Moore on Vermont’s rail future

With gas prices nearing four dollars a gallon and Vermont’s highway infrastructure getting harder and harder to maintain, we explore the possibilities of rail as a serious transportation alternative. Charlie Moore serves on the Vermont Rail Council, where he chairs the Passenger Rail Subcommittee.  Sam Lewis is Operations Manager for VTrans and the state’s Acting Rail Program Manager.  They speak with VPR’s Jane Lindholm about the incentives, the obstacles, and what it would take to make Vermont’s ‘rail future’ a reality.
