Vermont Rail System by Robert C. Jones RUTLAND VTR GMRC D&H O&LC book NEW

Description: Vermont Rail System chronicles in text and photos, the complete history of this unique rail system. Nearly sixty years ago, the State of Vermont and Jay Wulfson's Vermont Railway pioneered the concept of public funds being used to purchase a moribund railroad that was then leased to a private operator. Thus, a significant portion of the Rutland Railroad has been resurrected in a manner that few could have foreseen. This book explores six affiliates-- the Vermont Railway, Clarendon & Pittsford, Green Mountain, Washington County (Montpelier & Barre Division), Washington County (Connecticut River Division), and the New York & Ogdensburg Railroad. Railroad management, employees, celebrated photographers, and ephemera collectors teamed up for the most ambitious chronicle on this popular subject, This fully indexed 295-page hardcover features 425 black and white and color images, many never before published. Author Robert C. Jones was assisted by son, rail historian/filmmaker James R."Jim" Jones who collected material and wrote several chapters while creating documentary films on this subject, also available on EBay.
