| Overview The Rutland Railway Association's Center Rutland depot is home to the museum of the Rutland Railroad. We have displays of all sorts of items from the Rutland Railroad as well as some items from railroads in Vermont that the Rutland Railroad interchanged with. Also contained within the museum is the library which houses hundreds of railroad and model railroad magazines as well as reference books and other ephemera from Vermont's rich railroad history. |
Waiting Room
When you first enter Center Rutland depot, you enter the old waiting area, located on the Delaware and Hudson side of the depot. In the center of the room is the old coal stove. Above you is one of the old Center Rutland signs from the end of the depot. To your left and right are the original benches that passengers once sat in waiting for trains. Above the left bench on the wall are pictures of the Center Rutland depot in its recent and distant past. Main Room
This is the main area of the museum. It's an open and somewhat airy room with a view through the bay windows that looks out onto the Vermont Railway's Rutland-to-Burlington main line. On the walls behind you and all around you are various photographs and prints of the Rutland Railroad. In the display case to your right is a collection of Rutland Railroad timetables and other related items. |
Updates Donations Wanted One long-term project that we would love to have done is complete replacement of the carpeting in the depot. We would love to work with a donor to have the floors done in wood or a newer and more subtle carpeting. |
