The Central Vermont Railway (CV) was a regional railroad in the northeastern United States, primarily operating in the state of Vermont. Established in the mid-19th century, it played a crucial role in connecting various towns and facilitating the transport of goods and passengers across the region. The railway was known for its scenic routes, which included beautiful landscapes and access to key industrial areas. In 1995, the Central Vermont Railway was acquired by the Canadian National Railway (CN), marking the end of its independent operations. The CV's legacy continues to influence rail transport in Vermont, as it laid the groundwork for modern rail systems and contributed to the economic development of the area.
