NS de facto runs through Massachusetts via their joint venture Pan Am Southern, which sees NS trains with NS locomotives running from North Adams to Ayer using Pan Am crews.
Now that CSX has acquired Pan Am, some of those NS trains will run over the B&A to Worcester and then up to Ayer so they can avoid the lower clearance of the Hoosac Tunnel.

Railroads are common carriers. They don’t have the option to not haul vinyl chloride if customers need it moved.

Only partially. There was nothing very special or egregious about this derailment; it could have happened anywhere, anytime over the last several decades. The Lac Megantic disaster was much worse in terms of lives lost, community damage and railroad negligence.

There’s one on Sporcle. Once I beat that one I did another that was just a table of every city, town and gore in the state.

Saying ACAB is as far as anyone gets on police reform in /r/vermont and /r/burlington. Nobody ever posts good ideas for what to do about it

And if they did look at them, what then? Lot of people out there trying to ban police use of facial recognition tech. In the absence of both suspect and bike, seems like there's not much more to be done.

They have a blog where they report on their doings. What evidence of uselessness do you have to counter with?

It’s called “bus bunching” if you’d like to look up some articles and videos about it

Don't be surprised when you call the fire department and no one shows up, it's much closer to happening than you would believe in most of Vermont's towns

Joining the local fire department is a good way to get integrated with the community.

I've had 4 or 5 moose sightings and encounters while riding my bike in Vermont. One was in North Ferrisburgh in the middle of the day.
