Of course if you can answer any of these questions please send it here as

that question. In either case, please sign your FULL NAME so that your
contribution is properly credited.
If you model the Rutland I would like to stress that many of those nagging questions
that arise when striving for accurate Rutland models have often already been discussed in The Newsliner, the quarterly publication of the Rutland Railroad Historical Society. Why not join the
RRHS and continue your search for accuracy there?
I receive quite a number of inquiries from people searching their geneology who have
discovered that a relative was employed by either the Rutland or one of the many railroads
that eventually became a part of the Rutland. Although I don't personally know of any
Rutland personnel records that exist I don't want to discourage these folks from seeking
out their family history. If anyone out there can help in any way, please get in touch
with me.
