WRJ is considered Central Vermont Region/ Southeastern Vermont Region. However, it is a hub between VT/NH/MA/ME.

My grandparents eloped to NH in 1900 and I've never learned why as they both were over 21. Bellows Falls, VT, is not far above the MA border, on the CT River and definitely is in southern VT. White River Junction is pretty far up, albeit south of Burlington and Montpelier. It is at the junction of the White River and the CT River. It became a significant rail junction and, although a small community, all trains stopped there. WRJ is pretty much opposite, Hanover, NH, and was the RR station for Dartmouth College. Perhaps a Vermonter will tell us whether it is considered to be in northern VT.
