The Derby Line–Rock Island Border Crossing is a road crossing that connects the town of Stanstead, Quebec with Derby Line, Vermont on the Canada–United States border. It is where Interstate 91 intersects with Quebec Autoroute 55. While there historically have been many roads that have connected these two communities along the border, this particular crossing was established in 1965 with the completion of this section Interstate 91. Since 2009, barricades have been erected on Church Street, Lee Street and Ball Street to prevent people from crossing the border at locations where border inspection services are not present, forcing locals to cross at this crossing, or at the Derby Line–Stanstead Border Crossing to the west.

WMOO

WMOO (92.1 FM) (also known as "Moo 92") is an adult top 40 formatted radio station broadcasting from Derby Center, Vermont, United States. It is owned by Vermont Broadcast Associates, Inc. The station's main transmitter is near the intersection of Hidden Pines Drive and Nelson Hill Road in the town of Derby, approximately 1.5 mi (2 km) south of the border with Quebec, Canada, allowing a city-grade signal as far north as Magog and a coverage area extending to north of Sherbrooke. It was rebroadcast on W257AU 99.3 in St. Johnsbury, until the translator's license was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission on August 8, 2017.The station broadcasts a weekday morning program The Moo 92 Wake Up Crew. The show is sometimes broadcast from local nursing homes, food shelves, and local fire departments. The syndicated but live, Liveline with Mason Kelter currently airs every weeknight. WMOO, along with 29 other Nassau Broadcasting Partners stations in northern New England, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by Carlisle Capital Corporation, a company controlled by Bill Binnie (owner of WBIN-TV in Derry, New Hampshire), on May 22, 2012. The station, and 12 of the other stations, were then acquired by Vertical Capital Partners, controlled by Jeff Shapiro. Soon after taking over, Vertical resold WMOO and WIKE to Vermont Broadcast Associates.The sale of WMOO and the other 12 stations was consummated on November 30, 2012, at a purchase price of $4.4 million. The resale of WMOO and WIKE was consummated on January 1, 2013, at a purchase price of $760,000. The station is the #2 rated station in the Montpelier/Barre/Saint Johnsbury market, despite having a non-existent signal in Montpelier and Barre. It is the de facto top 40 station in the Saint Johnsbury and Newport, Vermont regions, and the only English pop station audible in Estrie.
