800 feet of track was suspended.  With good access from a nearby grade crossing, it was filled in and packed by late Monday.  Wednesday's Vermonter 56(5) restored northbound service, returning yesterday morning as 55(6).

Washout is in Hartford Village (Same town, a bit closer to White River Jct.) just west of VA Cutoff Rd. around Roxbury Sub MP 17.
