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 19th 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 extra posts by Don Janes and Keith MacCauley.

CN Whitby Station
These black and white photo's showing the Whitby station on a flatbed trailer being moved across the train tracks from the station's original location on Feb. 16 1970.
The Whitby station was built at the foot of Byron St. on the GTR in 1903 near the current GO platform. The station closed in 1969 and in 1970 was moved to the north east corner of Victoria and Henry St. for use as an art gallery. In 2004 the station was moved again across the road to Whitby Iroquois Park and is still used as an art gallery and a location for everyone to take art classes. A side building has been built which has a basement area which is used as workshops. The station remains in great shape and is connected to the new building via an enclosed breezeway. I stop by most times I find myself in the area...George Dutka
