It was planned with routes laid out at one point. Parts of the white river to Woodstock railroad right of way and grade are still visible. They tried to continue to Rutland but it wasn’t viable at the time.

As someone that seems to be a fellow rail enthusiast, do you happen to know what All Earth Rail’s planned route is?

Vermont style pizza is just like regular pizza except you remove the sauce, cheese, and toppings. Then when you’re making the dough don’t add any yeast but add some sugar, baking powder, and enough milk so it’s more of a batter. Cook it in a frying pan and top with maple syrup. Much like regular pizza, Vermont pizza is especially great in the morning and can be served with eggs and bacon.

Beyond the thoughtful ideas about rail travel in our state I am just geeking out at the beauty of a VT rail map.

I have a process that I use to draw maps with pens, if you were willing to send me some of your map data I would love to render it in multicolor pen ink. Send me a DM if your interested

Americans 150 years ago: We are destined by god to expand our dominion throughout the entire continent.

Americans today: building a modest rail network in Vermont could not happen in a million years.

Note: Manifest Destiny was genocidal and bad. I'm just poking fun at how small our collective vision for what is possible has become.
