Tennessee Railroads After the Civil War -
"With the end of the war in 1865, the USMRR returned the state's railroads back to the original owners. Although some were in good condition, others were badly damaged and in financial straits. Fortunately for Tennessee's railroad companies, the USMRR locomotives and rolling stock used in Tennessee had been specifically designed to run on broad gauge southern track and were useless if returned to the North, therefore the Federal government auctioned a large amount of surplus equipment off to the Tennessee companies. Some of these recycled locomotives continued to operate well into the 20th century." - quote from the web site.

At one time most of the larger cities in Vermont had electric railroads. They were often set up to transport people. Some, like Springfield Electric, hauled freight as their major source of revenue. Others, like Burlington Traction Company, hauled passengers mostly. The Rutland Street Railway Company had the most track of any electric railroad entirely within the state of Vermont, with about 35 miles. The Berkshire Street Railway, a combination of several electric Railway Companies had tracks from North Bennington into New York State, Massachusetts and Connecticut. This was the only trolley line to have rails in four states in the U.S.A..

Railroad History Collection -
"The pre-1930 archival records of the Norfolk and Western Railway, along with the records of its predecessors and early subsidiaries, were placed on permanent deposit in the Digital Library and Archives of Virginia Tech's Carol M. Newman Library by an agreement concluded in 1981, Norfolk and Western's centennial year. In 1984, Southern Railway (which had merged with Norfolk and Western two years earlier to form the Norfolk Southern Corporation) placed the records of its predecessors and early subsidiaries in Newman Library as well. Together, the two collections include archival records for nearly three hundred railroads and related companies in the South and Midwest. These records comprise approximately 450 cubic feet of manuscript material spanning a century from the 1830s to the 1930s, with the greatest concentration of records in the late nineteenth century". — Virginia Tech, quoted from the web site.

Wisconsin Logging Railroads -
"The purpose of this page is to provide information on an often overlooked aspect of railroading. While not as thrilling as their western counterparts, logging railroads in the State of Wisconsin still hold much interest. After all, it is the state where both Frederick Weyerhauser and Edward Hines got their start. What I will attempt to do is to provide a master list of all Wisconsin logging railroads including basic information such as dates of operation, (when known) location, and guage." - Quote from the website

Wyoming Railroad History -
"The construction of the Union Pacific Railroad across Wyoming from 1867 to 1868 opened the state to permanent settlement. Cheyenne rose from the barren plains in the fall of 1867 and to become a hub for shipping and railroad maintenance. Elsewhere Laramie, Rawlins, Rock Springs, and Evanston emerged from 30 day town railroad camps to centers of commerce. This urban pattern was duplicated as other railroads, like the Burlington Northern and the Chicago North Western railroads also laid track and feeder lines across northern and eastern Wyoming. Here, too, railroad towns became destination points for eastern emigrants and shipping terminals for agricultural and raw materials to eastern and western markets. The rapidly growing railroad network provided a relatively safer and much quicker form of two way traffic for both freight and people. In comparison, wagon roads and trails were slower and sometimes dangerous." - Quote from the website
