It's been 53 years since I last relieved the agent at Vermont. Vermont was
on the Rio-Beardstown Sub-division. One track went North to Bushnell via
Tablegrove and Adair. One went NE to Lewistown via Ipava. One went SW to
Rushville via Ray and one went south and at the Badar Y it split, one going
SE to Astoria and the other continued south to Beardstown via Browning and
Frederick.
