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 Haven Vt. - Station Moved

I have past this station may times on my trips to Vermont. I am really glad to see it being saved.

Kevin Smith sent me a message this week that the New Haven ex-Rutland Ry. station was moved to a nearby location. This station is over 20 feet tall with ornate curved windows and was built in 1868. It is great to see the station being saved...George Dutka

I'm always saddened when a building is moved. It cuts it completely from its context, history and signification. Rarely, the new location do justice and our modern sensibilities often just drop them in the middle of a piece of land like an object instead of tying it with the urban fabric. That said, I'm all in if the only option is demolition. 1860s surviving stations are becoming so scarce, it's great they have been able to salvage it. Moving a masonry structure is always a big challenge!
