" as the storm swept through earlier this week, Municipal Manager Brendan McNamara said, leaving the roughly 1,5000 people who live there with the burden to pick up the pieces after bearing the"brunt of the storm."
"Operations on this line and in much of Vermont are temporarily suspended while we conduct track inspections and focus on the repairs necessary to reestablish essential rail freight service for our customers and communities here in Vermont," the spokesperson said, adding that the rail system is continuing to assess the damage., with officials telling residents they must boil their water before consuming.
Videos from the storm show floodwaters raging through the area, sweeping away vehicles and flooding homes.
