History Early stations and Union Station The Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad opened from the state line at East Northfield, Massachusetts/South Vernon, Vermont to Brattleboro on February 20, 1849. The Vermont Valley Railroad opened between Brattleboro and in 1851, completing the all-rail route between Burlington, Vermont and Springfield, Massachusetts. The three lines became part of the Central Vermont Railway (CV) in 1873. The first Brattleboro station was a long single-story wooden building, no longer extant. The Brattleboro and Whitehall Railroad, a CV subsidiary, opened to South Londonberry, Vermont in 1880. A two-story Queen Anne style brick station was built that year to replace the original station.

It was built into a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River, with the first story at track level and the third story facing the street. A footbridge crossed the tracks to reach the northbound platform. Decline and revival CV passenger service to South Londonberry ended in 1927 and resumed briefly in 1931.
