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.

6218 in Vermont

Ian Stronach captured this view of the action at Swanton, Vermont on May 22, 1966. That is an impressive crowd.

There has been many views of CN 6218's visit to New England over the years. The one above at Swanton is an interesting view taken by Ian Stronach. Oh to get this overall view he was atop a boxcar in the siding. Try that today somewhere and see what happens. Thanks Ian...George Dutka

A visit to the beach on June 26, 2024 had me stop to get a few shots of the Port Stanley Terminal Railway.
