The bad news: in 1984, the eastern section collapsed under weight of an engine, prompting the closure of the Central Vermont RR line between St. Albans and Richford.
The good news: in 2002, the collapsed section was replaced, completing the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, an all-season recreation path running the entire 26.4 miles from St. Albans to Richford.
