Reply to comment by HillRatch in My proposal for near-future inter-town/city passenger rail expansions in Vermont! (MAP) by DrToadley

Tunnels are expensive. A quick search indicated $250 to $500 million per mile in Europe and more in the US. We are a rural state, transit tunnels make zero sense.

There is an rail tunnel in Burlington between winooski and the waterfront but it is 350 feet long and was built by hand in the 19th century.
