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.

Snapshot - February 2014
I took this photo in the yard at Brattleboro, Vermont back on Oct. 12, 2011. Nothing all that spectacular about the photo other than that track machine next to the engine was one of two that was working on its own. I think the track crew just programs them and they go along pulling and adding spikes and whatever else they can do. Each track was flagged as seen here with one machine working on each track. Funny thing about the scene was none of the track men seemed to be paying any attention to the machines. Boy have times and technology changed since I last worked on a railroad....George Dutka
