Vermont History

A railroad station has stood at this site since the mid-19th century. Originally a freight stop for wood, the Vermont Central Railroad (VCR) established a junction station for passengers known as Montpelier Junction in 1849. That year, VCR built a branch line to downtown Montpelier, providing service to Vermont’s capital. The current station was built in 1934 by the Central Vermont Railway, VCR’s successor. It is likely the third station building on the site.
