Rutland Railroad Photo Gallery:
More Milk Trains
Another Rutland Classic
Rutland Ten Wheeler #77 is seen arriving at Norwood, NY with train #7 the westbound
"Milk." This scene has it all: classic Rutland steam, a milk platform
loaded with milk cans, a pickup truck, a country station. If ever you wished to step
into a scene, this would be it. The date is September 2, 1949 and
things will soon change forever here and all along the Rutland.

Northbound train #87 is shown arriving at Burlington, Vermont
with class K-1 Pacific #80 leading empty milk cars for the dairy plants of northern
Vermont and New York state. The photo is dated is September 2, 1949, which means
that this is essentially the same train as in the above photograph, but earlier in the
day. The locomotive will be changed at Alburgh.
