This route "originally carried the Rutland Railroad (RUT). It now carries the Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) and the New England Central Railroad (NECR). Rutland used to terminate in Bellows Falls with a connection to Boston & Maine. B&M was on both sides of the Connecticut River south of town and on the east side of the river north of town. GMRC/RUT goes up the west side of the river north of town." [Dennis DeBruler]

The topology of that town must be rather interesting. There is a hydroelectric plant about a block to the right (East) of here.
