    • 1943 March and April, “Railway Literature”, in Railway Magazine, page 126:
      Vermont Central—Central Vermont. By Edward Hungerford, David W. Sargent, Jr., Lawrence Doherty and Charles E. Fisher, Boston, Massachusetts: The Railway & Locomotive Historical Society Inc., Baker Library, Harvard Business School. [...] These natural obstacles increased the difficulty of providing transport, but the intrepid Vermonters determined to have a railway linking the Great Lakes with Boston, independent of New York—and they achieved it.
    • 1959, Charles Morrow Wilson, The Magnificent Scufflers: Revealing the Great Days when America Wrestled the World[1], Stephen Greene Press, page 60:
      But April is a whimsical month when Vermonters and Hampshirites alike are disposed to antic adventures such as trekking to Boston to get married or to New York to see the sights.
