RAILS BEYOND THE RUTLAND by Philip R. Jordan
The Rutland Railway shut down in 1961, ending an era in New England railroading. Three years later the railroad was revived by the state of Vermont and began operation as two different companies. Author Philip R. Jordan looks at the Rutland’s successors — the Vermont Railway and Green Mountain Railroad — with a tour of the lines between Burlington, Vermont, and North Walpole, New Hampshire, as well as numerous black & white photos illustrating rolling stock and structures of both. Steam is repesented through a look at Steamtown’s tenure on the Green Mountain in Bellows Falls, and oddball diesels are presented on the CLarendon & Pittsford, which connected with the Vermont at Rutland. Locomotive and rolling stock rosters are included, as well as a map.
