Vermonter Reroute
Amtrak has started operating on the new Vermonter route between Springfield MA and Brattleboro VT. With that change comes a change in the mileage. All Vermonter trips posted will now reflect the new route. Mileage for prior trips will not change.
The new Vermonter timetable carries forward several mileage errors from the prior timetables. The errors are for stations between Springfield and Washington. Normally, I use whatever mileage Amtrak publishes, right or wrong. However, doing that with the Vermonter would result in trips between the same stations varying by several miles between the Vermonter and all other services on the same route (Connecticut Shuttles, the Northeast Regionals and Acela). In order to eliminate that problem, I will continue to use a hybrid mileage table for Vermonter trips.
The table below shows the mileage built into the OTOL database and that shown on the Amtrak Vermonter timetable. For north of Springfield, the Vermonter timetable is the basis for the OTOL mileage. For south of Springfield, the Northeast mileage from the Amtrak System timetable is the basis.
