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.

Pennsylvania 40' Boxcar
A Pennsylvania boxcar I think in St. Thomas, Ont. There is no details about it other than from the Bob Bowes collection. Don McQueen scanned most of his collection about a year ago.
This is a PRR X28a boxcar with steam pipes for passenger express service. The Adams Express lettering would come from the era before 1918, since Adams Express, with Wells Fargo and others, was consolidated into the Railway Express Agency by the US Railroad Administration during World War I. However, the condition of the paint suggests this is sometime in the 1920s. Very intriguing shot.
