In Burlington downtown, the rail trail crosses the tracks and runs along the Union Station platform, then crosses again and parallels the line past the Vermont Railway HQ and roundhouse, over a bridge adjacent to the former Burlington Barge Canal, and heads to Oakledge Park. Basically this is a "RAIL WITH TRAIL" setup, and a fence seperates the railroad from the trail.

Sneaking a pic through the fence, I shot some of the ex-VRE coaches that were used on the now defunct Champlain Flyer commuter train. 5 of these cars sit just south of the Burlington Yard of the Vermont Railway.
