Vermont Rail System is an affiliation of seven shortline railroads: Vermont Railway (VTR), Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC), Clarendon and Pittsford Railroad (CLP), Washington County Railroad (WACR), New York and Ogdensburg Railway (NYOG), New England Southern Railroad (NEGS), and New Hampshire Central Railroad (NHCR). Individually, each shortline provides personalized, efficient, and reliable rail freight service to a wide variety of on-line customers. Joined in common ownership the railroads form a strategic alliance that allows for better utilization of manpower and equipment, resulting in an increased level of service to customers.

Approximately 90 percent of carloads handled originate or terminate in Vermont. Some “local” movements, such as consignments of agricultural lime, both originate and terminate within the state. VRS also plays a critical link for international and inter-regional trade by connecting other railroads in Canada and Northern New England with those in Southern New England and the Eastern United States.
