Ten dollars can’t buy as much nowadays as it once could. One thing it can still buy is train fare in Connecticut. Shockingly enough, you can travel through the entire state on Amtrak for just $10 a ticket! We’ve got quite a few train stations in Connecticut. You can purchase a ticket going all the way through the state (or even to another nearby state), or just get a shorter trip.
Amtrak’s Vermonter train travels to a number of popular destinations in the northeast. It runs daily from northern Vermont all the way down to Washington, D.C.

A train ride through Connecticut is a great way to experience the Constitution State. Trains allow you to admire the scenery better than you could while driving in a car. Not having to worry about gas station fill-ups or traffic jams are another major benefit!
