White River Division

Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

Funny, I was recently reading Derek Booth's Railways in Southern Quebec Part 2 and there was a many pictures from the late 1890s and early 1900s showing Christmas trees loaded on Orford Mountain Railway flat cars.
