I'm so excited to see the new Airo #trains, which will replace the Amfleet II cars on the Amtrak #Vermonter later this year. #Amtrak is also building #Brattleboro #BRA the first new station house in #Vermont in over a century, with the first level boarding platform in #VT, which will allow #bicycles and #wheelchairs to roll right on board, finally! Now if we could only get more than one train per day. #transportation #railfan #WarOnCars #disability #BikeTooter #FediBike

You can tell a lot about a #culture by what's available to purchase in its #grocery #markets.
As an #AsianAmerican #Vermonter who doesn't live in #ChittendenCounty, I often despair when I go grocery #shopping.
#Vermont is filled with high quality #food options, but not ones that reflect #diversity or #affordability especially well.
Diversity is a product of demographics. #LetsGrowBrattleboro #LetsGrowVermont
It’s been nearly a year since I last rode #Amtrak #Vermonter, but it appears that they may have upgraded their onboard #WiFi system, because my #travel router connected to it immediately, without me needing to clone the MAC address of my iPad to the router, which I believe I ad to do in the past. The captive portal page opened right away, and all I had to do was click “accept”.
My 25000 mAh powerbank has proven able to run my travel router and Raspberry Pi 4B for much longer than I expected.
@sayrer @kottke I mean, I'm a #vermonter — born & raised — and I love observing honey bees & bumble bees. I don't need an app, though.
(Are bee-watcher and bee-watcher-watcher observations also tracked by iNaturalist, or only Dr. Seuss?)

Attached is a photograph from Vermonter.com of Main Street hill in Brattleboro, Vermont. As you can see, we don't trade our cars often.

On the other hand, if Vermont joined Canada, maybe we'd finally get rail service working to Montreal, again. It's been out of service for decades, and my understanding is that the problem is Canada refusing to budget the money to fix the rails on their side of the border.
Make the #Amtrak #Vermonter the #Montrealer Again
I also have some hopes that perhaps when the new #Siemens #AmtrakAiro rolling stock shows up (scheduled for 2026), the issues with AC power and WiFi on my route will be mitigated, since it will be all new hardware.
Of course, the first new #trains will likely go to the #NortheastRegional, but hopefully the #Vermonter and #EthanAllenExpress won't lag too far behind.
And hopefully, the next administration will not tamper with the project. #travel
