The following if from Brattleboro local news. The new train station will house a waiting area with 36 seats, a restroom, an outdoor area with more seating, and an engineers’ room. In addition, the project’s construction includes “rebuilding existing siding track and switches and a new, 345-foot-long platform set 48 inches above the rail, a feature that will allow level boarding.” Crews will also install new lighting, signs, drainage, and an “electric snow-melting system.”

The estimated cost of the new station is reported to be $7.4 million, and “Amtrak has also spent $1.7 million on track work and $1 million on design.” Jen Flanagan, Amtrak lead Public Relations Specialist has commented that “the total will be $10 million by completion.” Additionally, a bike shelter with e-bike chargers and a fast charger for electric vehicles will be installed. These will be paid for with funds from the federal Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

A rendering of how the station will look. The station will be the state’s first-ever level boarding train platform. The new station will also have both interior and exterior accessible waiting areas.
