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.

NH South Boston Yard

While scanning Peter's slides I did a number of mine. This view does not have much information other than it says NH South Boston yard, 1969. I don't recall where I got this one from but it maybe from the George Melvin slides I purchase a number of years ago...George Dutka

I thought 1989 was a bit off too.

I made an error posting it should be 1969.

Hi George, I enjoy your blog and photos like this one being a native Yankee. Those FGE insulated boxcars- they weren't just for foodstuffs. Stanley Home Products in Easthampton, MA used them to ship their cleaning products. The NH Canal Line local would go by my house with several in tow daily. Another item- I just read written in a model magazine that New England didn't get N&W and other southern region coal cars due to it being cheaper to ship from closer (PRR etc.). I guess there are exceptions to every rule.
