NEREX is pleased to announce our annual overnight excursion on the Vermont Rail System, scheduled for the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, September 7 & 8, 2024.
On Saturday we will travel 100 +/- rail miles along the Connecticut River, from White River Junction (WRJ), VT to Newport, VT. There are numerous twists and turns along the river with many bridge crossings. We will spend Saturday night in Newport. One hotel room per car at the Newport City Inn & Suites is included. As part of this weekend package, we also include ground transportation in Newport, dinner Saturday night at the beautiful East Side Restaurant (directly on Lake Memphremagog), breakfast again at the East Side on Sunday morning, and lunch on Sunday. Overnight security will be provided for the cars at the Newport tie down.
You will have your choice of 3 entrees for dinner Saturday evening, beef, chicken, or salmon. Breakfast Sunday will be a buffet.
Following breakfast Sunday, we will head back to WRJ, traveling back the same route as the previous day. We usually get back around 3 PM in the afternoon, offering everyone, after a quick setoff, an early start for home.
We will be offering an early seton Friday, September 6th, from 4 – 6PM. Overnight security will be provided for cars that set on Friday evening.
NEREX has arranged for a block of rooms at the Comfort Inn for Friday evening at White River Junction for anyone that might be interested. The rate is $168 + tax. Ask for the NEREX group rate. You will need to call the Comfort Inn directly to register and get this rate, 802-295-3051.
