By Train

When you are scheduled to participate in a VSC Residency, please send VSC's travel coordinator (by mail, telephone, or travel@vermontstudiocenter.org) your travel plans as soon as you know them.

We provide shuttle services from the train stations in Waterbury and Essex Junction, VT. We ask train travelers arriving for a Residency to arrive on Saturday so they may attend Sunday's opening events. We will also provide shuttle services to either the Waterbury or Essex Junction Train Stations in time for departure on the final day of your residency.

Amtrak's train #56, which originates in Washington DC, travels up the Northeastern corridor through New York City, New Haven and Springfield, stopping in all major cities en route and arrives in Waterbury, VT daily at 7:56, and in Essex Junction VT after 8:00 pm. Reservations are required.

Contact Amtrak at 1-800-872-7245 or www.amtrak.com for detailed fare and schedule information.

Please contact VSC’s travel coordinator if you have any questions about traveling by train for your residency.
