Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate the enduring story of Central Vermont Railway in this Hoodie / Sweatshirt. Founded through the Vermont Central Railroad’s 1843 charter, the line reached Burlington in 1849 and expanded through regional connections toward New York, Connecticut, and Montreal. The company changed hands and reorganized, yet its name and identity continued within the Canadian National network. A comfortable everyday expression of rail history for New England enthusiasts, Vermont locals, and collectors of historic transportation brands.
The railway’s origins date to the Vermont Central Railroad, chartered on October 31, 1843, to connect Burlington with Windsor across Vermont. Construction began in 1845, and the route reached Burlington in 1849. The Vermont and Canada Railroad, chartered in 1845, extended the system north toward the Canadian border and was later consolidated with the Vermont Central. In 1872, the company adopted the name Central Vermont Railroad. Its network grew through leases and connections with regional railways, including routes toward Ogdensburg, New York, and New London, Connecticut. After entering receivership in 1896, it was bought by the Grand Trunk Railway; a reorganized Central Vermont Railway emerged in 1899. The Grand Trunk system became part of Canadian National Railway in 1923. Although no longer independent, Central Vermont retained a separate identity within the CN network. Following another reorganization in 1930, the railway carried freight and operated passenger services, including the Montrealer. On February 3, 1995, CN sold its main line from New London to East Alburg, Vermont, to RailTex. The operation took the name New England Central Railroad; RailTex later became part of RailAmerica, acquired by Genesee & Wyoming in 2012.
