Is there any way to get from the Vermonter to the Downeaster? We're not going to any certain stop, we just want to ride these two trains. Thank you.
 
I rode those two trains last year. I took the Downeaster from Portland, ME, to Boston, then the Lake Shore Limited to Springfield, MA, and then the Vermonter to St. Albans, VT.
 
Margo, if you're going from the Vermonter to the Downeaster, the connection is much less reliable. Since eastbound LSL #449 starts in Chicago, it often gets delayed due to freight train interference. Woodcut was talking about going westbound on LSL #448, which is a much more reliable connection because it starts in Boston.

Also, mods, can we move this to the Amtrak Rail Discussion instead of Amtrak's Future?
