Vermonter 55 heads south through Wallingford on a chilly Monday afternoon. On the following day, during winter storm Stella, Amtrak P42DC 1 was on a northbound plow extra in Longmeadow, Massachusetts when it collided with a plow truck, killing the driver. The locomotive sustained significant damage.
The successor to the Montrealer, the Vermonter runs between St. Albans, Vt., and Washington, DC. Much of the northern part of the route runs along the Connecticut and White Rivers.
