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.

New Law in Effect Today in Vermont

Got the following e-mail from Jim Murphy today regarding railfanning in Vermont...George Dutka

Hi all. Most of you might already know or do not care but the state of Vermont passed a new law which went into effect today July 1st to do with trespassing on railroad property and if you do not have a permit it is a $200 fine and any police office can fine you even AMTRAK so any of you who like to photo the railroads here in Vermont be very careful. You all have a great Independence day weekend.

The only rail line left in Vermont that is not owned by the State of Vermont is the G&W's New England Central. Thus, as taxpayers and residents of Vermont, it will be interesting to see what happens when somebody questions how they can be charged for trespass on property that the taxpayers not only have ownership of but are actually subsidizing.
