Rutland Railroad Historical Society
The Rutland Railroad Historical
Society was first organized in 1987, and is designed to bring together
people who share a common interest in all facets of the Rutland Railroad
and its predecessor and successor railroads.
The Society publishes a quarterly journal, the "Newsliner", which
includes photo features, historical articles, anecdotes, sources of information
for modelling, as well as being an all-round forum for enthusiasts to share
and seek information on the Rutland.
An annual weekend convention is held in May of each year at a location on
the former Rutland main line. The convention activity generally includes
an evening banquet, presentations, driving and walking tours of the Rutland
right-of-way, swap tables, and more. Past locations have included Bellows
Falls, Burlington, Rutland and Ogdensburg.
