Passenger service on the CV south of the Vermont state line ended on September 27, 1947; the station was modified for other uses.[5][4] On July 18, 1989, the AmtrakMontrealer (which had been discontinued in 1987 due to poor track conditions on the Connecticut River Line in Massachusetts and the CV in Vermont) was restored on a new routing via Amherst, with a stop there.[6] The building, which is privately owned, was restored to its original condition in 1992. The interior was split between a passenger waiting area and a commercial space.[5][3] On April 1, 1995, the Montrealer was cut back to St. Albans, Vermont and renamed as the Vermonter.[7]
In 2014, the Connecticut River Line was rebuilt for renewed passenger service. On December 29, 2014, the Vermonter was rerouted to that line, serving stops at Northampton, Greenfield, and later Holyoke. The last day of service to Amherst was December 28.[1]
