Buy your ticket now for the #1 Vermont rail event of the year! VRAN's 2018 Annual Dinner will be held the evening of Thursday, Nov. 8th at the Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center in downtown Montpelier, Vermont. This year's theme: 'I'd Rather Be On the Train!'
With the recent arrival of 12 self-powered Rail Diesel Cars in Vermont, enabling reliable and affordable regional rail service for commuters, there is much to celebrate. Two of All Earth Rail's recently renovated Budd RDC's will be parked on the RR tracks behind the hotel. We will host a cocktail hour onboard the RDC's for those who arrive early.
Join us for an evening of networking and fun with delicious food, live music from a swing jazz band, and the presentation of VRAN's annual Rail awards. Every participant will receive the new VRAN 'I'd Rather be On the Train' bumper sticker (pictured above).

"I wish to extend my appreciation to members of the Rail Passengers Association for their steadfast advocacy to protect not only the Southwest Chief, but all rail transportation which plays such an important role in our economy and local communities. I look forward to continuing this close partnership, both with America’s rail passengers and our bipartisan group of senators, to ensure a bright future for the Southwest Chief route."
